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.
In what many considered a pivotal showdown at Old Trafford on Sunday, Arsenal faced a formidable task. Yet, their apprehensions were swiftly eased by an early strike courtesy of Leandro Trossard.
Manchester United approached the match amidst adversity, contending with a string of injuries and deploying their 14th different center-back pairing of the season under the stewardship of Erik ten Hag.
Although displaying a more promising start compared to their recent 4-0 drubbing by Crystal Palace, United’s performance swiftly unraveled as Trossard exploited Casemiro’s hesitance to press forward following a goal kick.
Gary Neville didn’t mince words in critiquing Casemiro’s makeshift defensive role, vehemently asserting that the blunder wasn’t simply a consequence of the 32-year-old being played out of position.
“Recent criticism directed towards Casemiro is likely to intensify,” opined the former United defender on Sky Sports. “Arsenal executed brilliantly; even their supporters in the stands recognized the challenging opening 20 minutes.”
“Navigating past him, Casemiro should’ve reacted more promptly. Notice his casual jog; it’s evident he’s unaware of the impending danger. Trossard executed a textbook maneuver typical of skilled wingers, exploiting the space behind the full-back. Wan-Bissaka was caught off guard, culminating in a straightforward goal,” Neville dissected.
