Casemiro (Manchester United) also provided an excuse for the loss.
Manchester United lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the 37th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL) held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England at 0:30 a.m. on the 13th. Manchester United failed to narrow the gap with Chelsea (57 points), ranking seventh, by staying at 54 points due to the defeat on the day.
At the end of the season, Manchester United is suffering from a string of center back players. Following the existing Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Harry Maguire collapsed one after another. Ten Hag used defensive midfielder Casemiro as a central defense along with Johnny Evans in the 36th round against Crystal Palace.
However, the result was disastrous. Manchester United was completely defeated by Palace 0-4. Casemiro easily allowed his team to break through, leading to the first goal and losing the ball in the fourth run.
In the match against Arsenal, manager Ten Hag chose Evans and Casemiro, but the result remained the same. Casemiro displayed futile play when he lost the first goal. 토토사이트
In the 20th minute of the first half, the ball came forward at once from Arsenal's defense and Kai Havertz caught it. Then, as Casemiro failed to hit the line quickly, Havertz's position was onside, and Havertz tried to cross after the breakthrough and Leandro Trossar pushed it into the winning goal.
"In Arsenal's first goal scene, Casemiro seemed to have forgotten the offside rules," the British Daily Express said. "The midfielder who played as a defender casually stayed in the back and jogged, and Havertz stayed on the side."
"Manchester United's early days of the game were not bad. However, Trossar's goal changed the mood of the game. Had Casemiro been more alert, Havertz would have been offside. However, his slow reaction opened up space and when defenders already played backcourt, there was an irreversible situation," he added.
Manchester United, which lost 1-3 in its first match of the season against Arsenal, lost again on the same day, and suffered a double loss to Arsenal in the league for the first time in 17 years.
