Casemiro continues to show his scoring influence
One of the positives amid the disappointment of Monday’s loss was the ongoing connection between Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in the opposition box.
Midway through the second half, with the team down to 10 men and trailing 2-0, our Brazilian midfielder latched onto the captain’s looping cross to score at the back post, setting up a spirited end to the game.
It was Casemiro’s eighth goal of the season so far and, notably, his previous six strikes have all been set up by Fernandes passes.
As you can see in the video below, their partnership also led to goals against Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.

After the disappointment of Leeds, United’s attention has immediately turned to Saturday night’s Premier League blockbuster against Chelsea.
Michael Carrick’s Reds are currently third in the table and a win at Stamford Bridge against the sixth-placed Blues would provide a major boost.

Casemiro is likely to start in midfield once again and he has happy memories of facing Chelsea with United, having previously scored three goals against them.
That tally includes a memorable header in west London during his debut season.
