Man United vs Arsenal: Red Devils Fans Single Out Casemiro for Blame After Old Trafford Defeat

• Man United vs Arsenal Premier League clash ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Red Devils
• Leandro Trossard scored the all-important goal of the encounter in the 20th minute
• Arsenal's win sent them to the top of the EPL table, boosting their bid to lift the crown

Manchester United fans have singled out one player for blame following their Premier League defeat against Arsenal at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils were keen to return to winning ways during the Sunday evening cracker, having suffered a 4-0 humiliation at Crystal Palace in their last outing.

Erik ten Hag was without key players for the meeting, with the likes of Harry Maguire, Marcus Rashford, and Bruno Fernandes all missing the encounter.

United's injury crisis saw the Dutchman start Casemiro at the heart of his defence alongside Johnny Evans.

However, the partnership did not work out as expected, with Arsenal finding the breakthrough in the 20th minute via Leandro Trossard.

SPORTbible reports that Casemiro was largely responsible for the goal as he ambled up the pitch to play Kai Havertz onside when the ball dropped to him down the right.

Fans single out Casemiro for blame

The Brazilian midfielder's role in the goal has seen him come under scrutiny once again, with a section of fans blaming him for the Old Trafford result.

@TheSecretScout_ posted:

"Casemiro that’s unforgivable. He must have thought he was in midfield, because he is miles behind Evans."

@MCFC_Jacky added:

"Casemiro you have bloods on your hands."

@markgoldbridge reckoned:

"Absolutely unforgiveable from Casemiro there.....He's literally given up the last month."

@harrypinero concluded:

"If Casemiro retires today i wouldn’t blame him."

Casemiro's disastrous performance came just days after his disappointing display vs Crystal Palace.

United's latest defeat leaves them in danger of missing out on a Europa League spot at the end of the season.

Ten Hag's men will be back in action on Wednesday night, May 15, against Newcastle United before winding up the season away at Brighton next Sunday.
