Now, it does look as though it’s going to be a problem.After Okafor netted his second, Neville reacted on Sky Sports’ live commentary by suggesting Carrick would already have to start looking at his bench.Manuel Ugarte has been granted his first start under the interim manager tonight, but was only called upon due to Kobbie Mainoo sustaining a minor injury and being ruled out.Neville: Casemiro and Ugarte partnership just ‘doesn’t work’He has, unsurprisingly, failed to have the desired impact alongside Casemiro in the middle of the park, prompting Neville to criticise the partnership.“I’m not saying he (Carrick) could’ve gone with anything else, but we know it doesn’t work. We’ve seen enough evidence of that over the last 12 months or so. When they play together, it’s not great,” the pundit said of the midfield duo.Alas, Neville predicts that Carrick will call upon Bryan Mbeumo at the break and move Bruno Fernandes back into a deeper role.Mason Mount is also available to try and change the game off the bench, although he’s played just two minutes of action since Carrick took charge.
