Agbonlahor: Man Utd had to hook Casemiro; he looked 45 against Brighton

Former Aston Villa captain Gabby Agbonlahor slammed Casemiro after Manchester United's defeat to Brighton.

Agbonlahor says Brighton's midfield made Casemiro appear an old man.

He told talkSPORT: "Brighton never had any major difficulties.

"It was a training game for them, particularly in the second half. Casemiro looked like he was 45 years old in that midfield. They had to replace him in the 65th minute with Hannibal, a young man, because he was so bad.

"Harry Maguire must look at that dressing room and think: 'why don't I have a chance in this team?'. Martínez couldn't go out and play, just like Lindelof. Harry Maguire deserved to be in this team."
