Manchester United streamer Mark Goldbrige has slammed Casemiro for his role in Arsenal’s winning goal against the Red Devils, claiming that the midfielder was “slower than Michael Jackson on a tractor” after he failed to get back onside before the Gunners scored.
Man United’ssolid start againstArsenalwas undone in the 20th minute when Kai Havertz squared the ball to Leandro Trossard to tap home past Andre Onana inside the six-yard box.
Ben White’s through ball down the right-hand side found the German in acres of space, with some appealing for offside as it seemed on first glance that he was well behind United’s back four.
However, Casemiro was 10 yards deeper than the rest of his defensive line, playing Havertz onside after slowly jogging back up the pitch. Goldbridge, who isno stranger to ranting about his beloved club, could not believe what he was watching as the ball was then swept into Trossard who tucked home with ease.
“Why the f*** is Casemiro keeping Havertz onside?” hestarted. “He’s a walking bl***y disaster the last month. Too slow. He should be sprinting out, that’s f***ing lazy.
“He’s slower than Michael Jackson on a fing tractor. And it’s well known that Michael Jackson couldn’t drive, and he’s also dead! So he’d be really slow in a fing tractor.
“That is absolute s**** by Casemiro, absolutely terrible. He’s f***ing cost us there, everybody’s hard work, that is f***ing lazy. Absolute joke.”
