Casemiro has admitted it is difficult to offer advice to teammate Kobbie Mainoo amid the growing influence of social media. The Manchester United<\/a> midfield duo have been key to the club’s revival under interim head coach Michael Carrick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

United have qualified for the Champions League<\/a> and are on track to finish third under their temporary boss. The Reds have lost just twice since Carrick succeeded Ruben Amorim in January, with both Casemiro<\/a> and Mainoo regular starters under the former Middlesbrough manager.<\/p>\n

And it appears that Real Madrid legend Casemiro has been using his experience to guide Mainoo<\/a>, 21, in a bid to drive standards. The 34-year-old will leave Old Trafford<\/a> this summer after four seasons at M16.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian has now spoken to former Reds centre-back Rio Ferdinand<\/a> on his podcast<\/a> about how he is advising the England international.<\/p>\n

When Ferdinand put to him that you can’t be as strong with young players [these days], he said: “I try, I try, but the phone, the social media is very difficult because everyone sees on the phone, nah, you play good.<\/p>\n

“You think, ‘ah, you play good. Yeah, it’s top, it’s top.’<\/p>\n

“And I try every day about this with Kobbie. He’s an unbelievable player. But he needs to train, train, train. He needs fear – I play, I don’t play.<\/p>\n

“I need to push the training because this guy is the present and the future of the club.”<\/p>\n

Casemiro was then asked about Mainoo’s previous struggle for game time under ex-Reds boss Amorim. The young star did not start a single Premier League<\/a> match this season before Amorim’s exit.<\/p>\n

He added: “Yes. I talk to him about this, and because I love Kobbie. In this moment, he doesn’t play too much. Maybe it’s the first time he doesn’t play, but it’s not the last.<\/p>\n

“You don’t need to drop your head. You need change. How? I don’t know. Work. Work. Work.<\/p>\n

“Talk with the manager about what you need. I go with Amorim. I do what I need to, to play. I can’t play in this team because I need this, this, this. Okay. I try, but it’s not the last time.<\/p>\n

“He’s very easy. He’s slow. He’s a calm guy. Very calm. But for me this guy is the present in the football club. This guy is an unbelievable player.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo have been key players for Manchester United this season under interim head coach Michael…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[70481,16811,4566,108738,403,99],"class_list":["post-639806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-casemiro","tag-kobbie-mainoo","tag-manchester-united-fc","tag-michael-carrick","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/639807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
