Manchester United fans slammed Casemiro on X

Manchester United fans on X have blasted Casemiro after his error enabled Arsenal's Leandro Trossard to score. The Gunners secured a vital 1-0 win in their Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday, May 12.

Casemiro was deployed as a centre-back in his fourth game in a row due to the Red Devils' injury crisis in defense. However, his poor form continued as he was at fault for Trossard's winner in the 20th minute.

Andre Onana played out a routine ball into midfield but Casemiro was unwilling to get further up the pitch. Manchester United lost the ball, allowing Arsenal to play the ball into the path of Kai Havertz. The Red Devils' defensive high line failed as Casemiro's lack of awareness played Havertz onside. The German international played a low cross into Trossard, who fired home from close range to break the deadlock.

Casemiro's lack of mobility has been exposed numerous times this season and was visible for all to see in United's 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace last week. Manchester United fans were furious with his mistake which gave Arsenal the win, with one fan posting on X:

"Look how Casemiro kept Havertz onside"

How did Manchester United fare in their 1-0 loss to Arsenal?

Manchester United's woeful form continued as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Arsenal on Sunday. They remain in eighth place with 54 points from 36 games, while the Gunners are at the top of the table with 86 points from 37 games. Let's take a look at the stats to see how both teams fared:

The Red Devils dominated possession with 55 percent of the ball. They also attempted 513 passes with an accuracy of 86 percent. In contrast, Arsenal had 45 percent possession, attempting 430 passes with an accuracy of 83 percent.

However, the Gunners looked much more threatening in attack and should have scored more goals if not for Andre Onana's heroics. They landed 11 shots in total with five being on target. Meanwhile, Manchester United had 14 shots with just two being on target.
