Casemiro sets unwanted Premier League record as Manchester United problem laid bare

07.05.2024 - 16:23 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Casemiro was dribbled past on eight occasions as he floundered in Manchester United's 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace. Michael Olise scored twice as the Eagles stunned United at Selhurst Park on Monday night, with Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell grabbing the other goals on a humiliating night for Erik ten Hag.

Casemiro, as has been the case for United's past few matches, was playing out of position as a central defender because of injuries to other centre-backs.

And Palace players flew past him eight times during the game, which is a record for the Premier League this season. Casemiro's previous highest number, in terms of being dribbled past, had been five times against Aston Villa in December.

But this stat is a further worry for the United man, whose form has been a major concern this season.
