Manchester United: Casemiro Named 'Player of the Day'

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been named Player of the Day for the 24th round of the Premier League following his outstanding performance against Fulham. This marks the fourth consecutive week that a Manchester United player has received this honor, with his teammates Patrick Dorgu, Bruno Fernandes, and Benjamin Sesko winning the votes in the 23rd, 22nd, and 21st rounds, respectively. Casemiro delivered a top-level performance during Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Fulham.

At 33 years old, the Brazilian played a crucial role in helping his team take an early 2-0 lead. He first showcased his aerial strength by scoring the opening goal with a header from a Fernandes free-kick. Casemiro then turned provider with an exquisite no-look pass to Matheus Cunha, who finished with an unstoppable strike. He also won seven of his nine duels during the match.

Casemiro now has five goals in the Premier League this season; only the 2020/21 season with Real Madrid, where he scored six, has been more prolific for him in a single season across the top five European leagues.
