When Hannibal Mejbri picked up a yellow card in the 14th minute of Wednesday night's Carabao Cup tie between Manchester United and Newcastle, Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville suggested a senior member of the team needed to have a word with the Tunisian international to calm him down.
You would think that in such situations, the responsibility to calm the youngster down and make him fall in line would be on the captain, yet the person who had been handed the armband for the night appeared to do nothing.ALSO READ: Neville singles out three players as he blasts first-half disaster vs Newcastle
"Yeah but I think he's always showing that," Ten Hag said about Casemiro's leadership ahead of the game. "Every training, every game I think he's shown that." But those qualities were nowhere to be seen against Newcastle. Instead, Casemiro's name joined Hannibal's in the book just five minutes later.
"The first thing I would do, having watched him again today, is definitely take the captaincy off him, 100 per cent," Keane told Sky Sports. "I know it's a big decision and obviously he did change the captaincy from Maguire, but Fernandes is not captain material."
