Manchester United suffered a setback against Arsenal, with Casemiro drawing criticism for his defensive errors leading to the Gunners’ opening goal. Casemiro’s failure to track back allowed Kai Havertz to play Leandro Trossard onside, leading to Arsenal’s breakthrough midway through the first half. On social media, fans lamented Casemiro’s lack of urgency in getting back into position, with some labeling his defense as “comical” and “horrendous.”

Manchester United icon Gary Neville echoed these sentiments, highlighting Casemiro’s sluggishness in reacting to the play and emphasizing the importance of his experience in avoiding such basic errors. This latest error adds to Casemiro’s recent struggles, including a poor performance in United’s defeat to Crystal Palace and subsequent calls for him to consider leaving European football.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher urged Casemiro to recognize the signs of aging and consider a move to less competitive leagues like the MLS or Saudi league. Furthermore, Casemiro’s defensive lapses resulted in him being dropped from Brazil’s squad for the upcoming Copa America. As criticism mounts, Casemiro faces scrutiny over his performances and prospects at Manchester United.
