Or Scott McTominay? I just don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018If you see a few mistakes from someone who is playing there, who has never played there before, and you see the mistakes early, you should go, \u2018You know what, I\u2019m not going to do this to you\u2019 \u2013 I don\u2019t care how experienced he is.<\/p>\n<figure class=\" img-container shareable-item wp-caption\" style=\"max-width:540px\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"359\" data-rsz=\"shrink\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/GettyImages-2152080867.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;zoom=1&amp;resize=540%2C359\" alt=\"Erik ten Hag talks to Casemiro during the English Premier League football match between Manchester United and Arsenal\" class=\"wp-image-20824929\"\/>\n<\/div><figcaption>Rio Ferdinand has urged Erik ten Hag to end his Casemiro experiment (Picture: AFP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018Come on, move him out of there and get back to the position he knows.

He was happy to play him at left-back for a few games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We looked like an uncoached team. At the creative end of the pitch, we were lacking massively.
