Casemiro continues to show his scoring influence

Tuesday 14 April 2026 12:16One of the positives amid the disappointment of Monday’s loss was the ongoing connection between Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes in the opposition box. Midway through the second half, with the team down to 10 men and trailing 2-0, our Brazilian midfielder latched onto the captain’s looping cross to score at the back post, setting up a spirited end to the game.  It was Casemiro’s eighth goal of the season so far and, notably, his previous six strikes have all been set up by Fernandes passes.  As you can see in the video below, their partnership also led to goals against Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.Case’s six goals from Bruno assists VideoCase’s six goals from Bruno assistsPARTNERSHIP | In a sign of their connection, Casemiro’s last six goals have all been assisted by Bruno Fernandes…MILESTONE Casemiro’s goal on Monday night means 2025/26 is now his highest-scoring season as a Red, beating his previous best of seven in 2022/23.  The five-time Champions League winner is actually in the hunt to finish as United’s top scorer this season. Who will finish the season as our top scorer? pollWho will finish the season as our top scorer? COMING UP After the disappointment of Leeds, United’s attention has immediately turned to Saturday night’s Premier League blockbuster against Chelsea.  Michael Carrick’s Reds are currently third in the table and a win at Stamford Bridge against the sixth-placed Blues would provide a major boost. Casemiro is likely to start in midfield once again and he has happy memories of facing Chelsea with United, having previously scored three goals against them.  That tally includes a memorable header in west London during his debut season. Clips and highlights: A controversial red card VideoA controversial red cardCLIP | Old Trafford was stunned when VAR led to a red card for Lisandro Martinez…Rewatch the Shaw to Cunha chance VideoRewatch the Shaw to Cunha chanceCLIP | A brilliant ball from Luke Shaw led to Matheus Cunha unleashing a powerful shot at goal…90 in 20: United v Leeds Video90 in 20: United v Leeds90 IN 20 | Watch extended highlights as our rivalry with Leeds is rekindled in M16…Tuesday 14 April 2026 12:16Back to Top
