Casemiro made Man Utd fans angry because he swapped shirts with a Fulham player right in the middle of the match against Fulham in round 26 of the Premier League.
In the match in round 26 of the Premier League last night (February 24), Man Utd suffered a defeat with a score of 1-2 against Fulham. This result caused the Red Devils to end their streak of 5 consecutive wins. Not only that, they are also 8 points behind the 4th ranked team, Aston Villa.
There are notable details in this match. At the moment after referee Michael Oliver blew the whistle to end the first half, Casemiro suddenly exchanged shirts with Rodrigo Muniz before entering the Old Trafford tunnel.
Witnessing Casemiro’s actions, many Man Utd fans were angry. Below are some typical opinions on social networks:
“Did Casemiro just change shirts with his opponent? Please change him immediately!”.
“The two players exchanged shirts right after the first half ended. What a weak action.”
“Don’t let Roy Keane see that scene. Casemiro will be ruined.”
“Casemiro swapped shirts with his opponent at a time when Man Utd was having difficulty. This action cannot be accepted!”.
Casemiro played quite disappointingly in this match. Not only that, he also left the field in the 53rd minute after bleeding in the head area. The Brazilian player failed quite a few passes, creating conditions for Fulham to counterattack.
This season, the Brazilian star performed quite poorly and could not keep up with the pace in the English Premier League. That puts him on Man Utd’s liquidation list. According to the British press, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who just bought 27.7% of Man Utd shares and took control of football activities, plans to buy Luton’s Ross Barkley to replace Casemiro.
