‘For some reason, he…’: Gary Neville left absolutely dumbfounded by what he just saw from senior Man Utd man

Burnley lead Manchester United 1-0 at Turf Moor inside the first 15 minutes of action.Following an even opening from the two sides, Burnley found an unlikely breakthrough via Bashir Humphreys, whose cross into the area took a deflection off Ayden Heaven and looped its way behind Senne Lammens.Burnley take early lead through deflected cross(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)The Clarets had failed to score in 14 of their last 17 home matches, but have a narrow advantage to defend this evening as they look to close the gap on 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. Reacting to the opener on Sky Sports’ commentary, Gary Neville was left absolutely dumbfounded that Casemiro allowed Humphreys to make his run into the channel unmarked.“For some reason, he [Casemiro] just lets him [Humphreys] off,” said Neville before detailing how the Brazilian made the move far easier than it should’ve been for the hosts.The former Red did, however, express his sympathy for Heaven, given he could do very little about the deflection, albeit it has been credited as his own goal.Who can Darren Fletcher call upon to make an impact?(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)It’s a more attack-minded XI in United’s first game since Ruben Amorim’s dismissal, and interim manager Darren Fletcher has been boosted by the returns of Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes.Only the latter has made the line-up, though you’d imagine the rest of the trio, particularly Mount and Mainoo, will be utilised off the bench in the latter stages of the game – especially if United are still chasing a goal.Sustaining defeat to one of the newly-promoted teams would be bad enough, but even more so considering Burnley have recorded 14 losses already this campaign.MEN: Medical today – Man United ‘agree’ first deal of January window as wantaway star finally gets his wish
