Manchester United played out a 1-1 Premier League draw against Ipswich Town on Sunday.
The Red Devils made the best possible start, with Marcus Rashford scoring after just 80 seconds, but they were unable to capitalise on the early momentum.
The Tractor Boys equalised before the break from a stellar Omari Hutchinson strike. Andre Onana made several key saves to ensure United came away with a point.
There were several good and poor performances on the day. Midfielder Casemiro was the worst player on the pitch before his early substitution.
The Brazilian international was paired alongside Christian Eriksen in the heart of the midfield, and he struggled to provide any control with his limited mobility.
Casemiro completed just 17 passes in 56 minutes. He won only 50 percent of his ground duels and was guilty of losing possession on seven occasions in the game.
The former Real Madrid midfielder was also dribbled past twice. Amorim did not hesitate to replace him with Manuel Ugarte before the hour mark.
Casemiro must be dropped to the bench after his underwhelming display. He was in good form before the international break but was well below par yesterday.
Christian Eriksen only fared slightly better with 33 passes, and he may also be dropped to the bench over the next few games.
Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo have just returned from respective injuries. One of the duo could ideally partner Manuel Ugarte in midfield in the long run.
United started the weekend with a four-point gap to the Champions League places, but that has increased to six after failing to beat Ipswich at Portman Road.
