Casemiro’s performance in Manchester United’s 3-2 victory over Fulham at Old Trafford caught attention on social media.
The team aimed to maintain momentum after a thrilling 3-2 win against Arsenal, returning to their home ground with confidence.
This was United’s second consecutive league win under interim manager Michael Carrick, who stepped in last month.
Carrick had already made a mark with a solid 2-0 victory in the Manchester derby against City and continued to garner praise after the game against Fulham.
United initially led 2-0, but Fulham fought back to equalize late in the second half of the Premier League match.

One supporter expressed regret at not being able to keep him, wishing they could have retained him on a lower contract.
Another fan stated: “Casemiro has to be the Man of the Match!”
A third commented similarly, hoping the club could have kept Casemiro for one more year at a reduced pay.
Another user remarked on the uncertainty of his performance consistency, mentioning issues experienced under previous managers.
A fifth fan noted, “He was outstanding. The team struggled when he came off.”
“He was subbed due to a yellow card. We need a replacement this summer,” another fan mentioned.
Another summed up by saying, “Casemiro was class in every action. We clearly lost our rhythm after he left the pitch.”
Manchester United’s Victory Boosts Top-Four Hopes
With three consecutive league wins, Carrick’s team has positioned themselves well for a Champions League spot as they head into the second half of the season.
The Red Devils now sit in fourth place, one point above Chelsea, who are in fifth.
They are also only five points behind Aston Villa, especially after Villa’s surprising 1-0 loss to Brentford.
United’s next match is another home game against Tottenham, scheduled for Saturday’s early kick-off. Carrick will aim to maintain the winning streak and solidify their spot in the top four.
