BREAKING NEWS: Coming Live From Old Trafford, United Are Once Again In Shambles As Arsenal. Defeats Man Utd 1:0 To Adds More Salt To United And Erik Ten Hag’s Injury. Gary Neville BLASTS Casemiro For His Role In Leandro Trossard’s Goal For Arsenal Against Man United… As The Brazilian Struggles Once Again Playing In Defence.
The Gunners were faced with a potentially daunting challenge in what was widely perceived as a crucial match at Old Trafford on Sunday. However, any initial jitters were alleviated by an early goal from Leandro Trossard.
Manchester United entered the game under difficult circumstances, grappling with injuries and having to field their 14th different center-back pairing of the season under the management of Erik ten Hag.
Despite a stronger start compared to their 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday, United’s performance quickly deteriorated as Trossard capitalized on Casemiro’s inability to advance following a goal kick.
Gary Neville criticized Casemiro’s makeshift defensive role, emphatically stating that the error was unrelated to the 32-year-old being played out of position.
“Casemiro has faced recent criticism, and he’s likely to receive more,” remarked the former United defender on Sky Sports. “It was brilliant from Arsenal; those Arsenal fans in the corner acknowledged the challenging first 20 minutes.”
“As soon as Amrabat passed him, Casemiro should have reacted quicker. Look at him jogging; you can see the ball being played, and once he doesn’t react, he’s in trouble. Trossard did what every skilled winger does, making that diagonal run inside the full-back. Wan-Bissaka was caught off guard, resulting in a straightforward goal in the end.”
