Erik ten Hag says Casemiro will play against Nottingham Forest despite having suffered a concussion against Fulham on Saturday.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup tie, the manager confirmed “He was bleeding so had to come off [against Fulham]. He’s available for tomorrow.”

The boss also had a pop at former third-rate Liverpool star turned third-rate pundit Jamie Carragher, when asked his response to his comments following the Fulham game.

“Some analysts are very objective in their comments, very good advice,” Ten Hag replied. “Some are very subjective. Jamie Carragher from the first moment on has criticised and now he wants to make his point.”

However, he admitted that Carragher was partially correct when he said United were “poor defensively and can’t cope with counter-attacks” (via The Mirror).

“Probably in the first half an hour, yeah, he had a point. Fulham in their midfield set up surprised us a little bit and then we have to find the solutions. After half an hour we found the solutions.”

Asked on whether he has discussed his future with new board member, Sir Dave Brailsford, Ten Hag replied:

“About future? I know the future. But I also have to look at today and we have to work on the team’s development and progress and, of course, to win every game.”
