Casemiro had a nightmare 45 minutes, giving the ball away in the build-up to Luis Diaz opening the scoring and he was then robbed in possession as the Colombian made it two.

His performance was slammed by fans and pundits like Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher.

But Casemiro’s wife Anna Mariana has hit back at the criticism by posting a photo of his glittering trophy cabinet.

The five Champions Leagues he won at Real Madrid are shown off alongside several other trophies.

But the reminder of Casemiro’s past successes will not make Man Utd fans forget his horror show against Liverpool.

Keane fumed at half-time on Sky Sports: “Same old problems. Man Utd look very open.

“Mistakes from Casemiro for all his experience. They are all over the place. Casemiro must be aware of what’s around him.”

Carragher added: “He’s had such a great career and won everything you can possibly win, and it is a sad sight seeing what he’s going through out there.

“A poor pass can happen any time, but the second one, getting knocked over, he looks shattered as he’s falling over.”

Gary Neville said: “Casemiro, for a player of such experience the amount of times he gives the ball away in bad areas.

Erik ten Hag warns Manuel Ugarte could take MONTHS to get fit in further blow to Man Utd fans after Liverpool hammering

“I would go as far as saying Casemiro has lost his confidence a bit.

“For someone who has won Champions Leagues galore – it can happen to you in games.”

Casemiro, who earns a whopping £350,000-a-week after his £70million move from to Man Utd two years ago, was close to leaving the club amid interest from Saudi Arabia in the summer.

But SunSport exclusively revealed how Erik ten Hag axed plans to get rid of him after being impressed by the player in pre-season and during the first two Premier League games of the campaign.

Casemiro did not want to leave United and the threat of being sold was said to have given him a jolt.

After a difficult season last year as he battled injuries and poor performances, he is said to have returned from his summer holiday fit and raring to go.

Ten Hag insists Casemiro is still a vital member of the team despite being subbed off at half-time, saying: “Why I subbed him was because we are 2-0 down against an opponent with their qualities, they are very good.

“We had to take risks because we want to bounce back, then you need players in midfield to cover ground, therefore we put Toby Collyer on the pitch.

“I think that in football everyone has to take responsibility. I’m sure he is a great character and he won everything in his career that you can imagine.

“I am sure he will keep contributing to our team and Casemiro is always winning so he will be there.”

Man Utd player ratings vs Liverpool

MANCHESTER UNITED had a horror show against Liverpool as they lost 3-0.

Casemiro was so bad he was taken off at half-time.

But were there any positive performances at Old Trafford?

Andre Onana – 5
Nothing he could do about any of Liverpool’s goals and made a few saves to prevent the scoreline from getting worse.

Noussair Mazraoui – 5
Came close to scoring in the first half and looked solid enough against Diaz although he did push up too high before Liverpool’s opener.

Matthijs de Ligt – 4
Left Diaz and Domink Szobozslai in acres of space for the opening goal but was left in a tricky spot thanks to Casemiro’s error.

Booked for a shocking late tackle on Diaz.

Lisandro Martinez – 3
Lost Diaz for the second goal which meant the Colombian was able to score unmarked from the penalty spot.

Also guilty of giving away the ball too easily and was not tight enough with his marking.

Diogo Dalot – 4
Was caught out pushing up too quickly for the first goal and did not do enough to stop Mo Salah’s cross in the build-up to Liverpool’s second.

Looked dangerous in attack at times but too infrequently as he had plenty of defensive work to do since Rashford did not track Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Casemiro – 2
A horror show in the first half as he gave the ball away in the lead up to both of Liverpool’s goals.

He was caught on the ball for the second after a shocking misplaced pass left his defence vulnerable for the opening goal. Hooked at half-time.

Kobbie Mainoo – 4
Fell victim to the Casemiro curse as he was shrugged off the ball in a terrible position, allowing Liverpool to add a third with ease.

Bruno Fernandes – 5
Was United’s most creative spark but that is not saying much. Tried to get his side going in the first half but looked short of ideas and inspiration after the break.

Alejandro Garnacho – 4
Still appears to be a little rusty and is yet to hit the heights he reached last season.

Marcus Rashford – 3
Nothing came off for the out-of-sorts forward who must be running out of chances before he is dropped.

Joshua Zirkzee – 4
Quiet up-front and had little influence on the wing as well, but missed a clear-cut chance with his head and should have turned in Rashford’s cross which he met at the far post.

Subs
Tom Collyer (for Casemiro, HT) – 5
A difficult game for the youngster to make his Premier League debut but he put himself about and won a few tackles.

Harry Maguire (for De Ligt, 69mins) – 5
Shored things up at the back as Liverpool took their foot off the pedal.

Amad (for Garnacho, 69mins) – 5
Provided a spark on the right and looked more lively than Garnacho.

Christian Eriksen (for Zirkzee, 86mins) – N/A
Not on long enough to make an impact.
