Video of fans that stayed behind to cheer on the Man United players after the heavy defeat to Crystal Palace has emerged.
Manchester United lost heavily to Crystal Palace at Selhurst park on Monday night football. The game featured a blend of shoddy defending and limpness in attack for the red devils.
Fans and pundits have come out to slam the club and the players, especially Casemiro for the performance.
Casemiro’s performance encapsulates abject Manchester United defeat
Manchester United’s defensive crisis consigned the Brazilian to the right of the team’s central defensive pairing. He however often steps into the midfield whenever Manchester United are in possession of the ball.
Casemiro’s problems lie in transitions as he is often caught in no man’s land without the pace to recover. This was on show as Michael Oliseh skipped past him with ease to open the scoring in the 12th minute.
It was just one example of how dire the Brazilian the Brazilian’s defending was in this game. Casemiro was dribbled past 8 times in total leading to fans claiming the Brazilian is past his prime.
Fans stay behind to cheer on the club despite record breaking loss
Video of fans that stayed behind to cheer on the Man United players emerged after the game. The support for the players and the club drew praise from the fans, with Piers Morgan a notable admirer of the gesture.
Crystal Palace’s win over Manchester United sees Erik Ten Haag’s side break a lot of unwanted records.
The Red Devils have now lost 13 EPL games this season, the most the club has recorded in a single season.
They have now also conceded 81 goals this season, the most by the club in 28 years, i.e since 1976/77 season.
Manchester United could finish the season 8th, the lowest ever finish by the club in their entire history.
Many predicted this result may be the final nail in the coffin for Ten Haag at United but no announcement has been made.
He is set to be in charge for the visit of high-flying Arsenal at the weekend. They will hope to limit the damage to the season by ending strongly and winning the FA cup.
