Casemiro was criticised once again for his display for Man Utd, this time in the club's 1-0 Premier League defeat to Arsenal.

The midfielder was seen miles behind the half-way line as Aaron Wan-Bissaka was caught in behind by Kai Havertz, who squared for Leandro Trossard to scorethe game's only goal.

The Brazil international had no sense of urgency in getting back to the middle of the park, which inadvertently allowed former Chelsea man Havertz to be played onside.

It comes after a torrid display by Casemiro last week where Man Utd fell to a 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace.

The player's future at the club remains uncertain at present, with it deemed unlikely that he stays at Old Trafford until the following campaign.

On social media, fans took aim at the Real Madrid legend for his lack of positional sense that led to Arsenal to score the game's crucial goal.

What did fans say about Casemiro?

Absolutely unforgiveable from Casemiro there.....He's literally given up the last month

Casemiro play everyone on there as he took an age to push up. Wan-Bissaka has left Trossard in acres all game and gets blindsided there. Two players #mufc can't have in the squad next season.

Casemiro, for God sake man. That is NOT good enough. So lazy.

Lack of desire from Casemiro to get out there. Really poor.

Casemiro is right, walking is good exercise.

Casemiro with the sort of run you do across a road to show a car you've noticed them waiting
