Major reason why 32-year-old midfielder Casemiro and Raphael Varane were substituted during Chelsea vs Manchester United EPL match (4-3)

While Ten Hag’s team was ahead 3-2, the electronic scoreboard showed that eight minutes of extra time were to be played. In dramatic fashion, Cole Palmer scored twice in a row for Chelsea in the dying seconds of the game to secure the win.

With this loss, United is now nine points behind fifth-placed Tottenham. To make matters worse, Varane, Casemiro, and Evans are all questionable for the game.For the second game in a row, Varane was taken off at halftime, and Evans, who came on to replace him, was replaced after only being on the field for a short time.

Casemiro was also taken off with 15 minutes left. During his news conference after the game, Ten Hag was asked about his substitutions. He was angry and said, “That doesn’t help in those situations if you have to manage the game.”

On Thursday night, Man United lost late to Chelsea, and Varane, Casemiro, and Evans were taken off.

Erik ten Hag stated that Raphael Varane, Casemiro, and Jonny Evans had to be replaced during Thursday night’s game between Manchester United and Chelsea.

Chelsea snatched win from the jaws of defeat deep into extra time, which was a huge blow to United’s chances of making it to the Champions League.

“We also have to take off Casemiro, one of our leaders on the field. That doesn’t help; they know how to deal with things and get the win.” I don’t know what that means for Sunday, but we had to take them both off.”

Ten Hag said, “Right now, I don’t know” when asked if Varane would be ready to play for Liverpool.

Varane, whose deal with Real Madrid ends at the end of the season, passed a fitness test to play against Chelsea after hurting himself against Brentford in a way that wasn’t too serious.

Evans joined on a free move from Leicester City, and there were doubts about his ability to stay healthy. But he’s been fine for most of the season.

Casemiro was hurt in his hamstring and didn’t play again until an appearance against Brentford.
