Casemiro has just overseen what may well be his worst-ever performance in a Manchester United shirt.
The Brazilian had rings run around him when up against Crystal Palace’s prolific frontline.
While he is having to deputise for the sidelined centre-halves, therefore being played out of his comfort zone, you still wouldn’t have expected a humiliation to that degree from such an experienced veteran.
According to WhoScored, Casemiro was dribbled past eight times in total across the 90 minutes at Selhurst Park, the most of any player in the Premier League this season in a single match.
It wouldn’t have filled the travelling Reds with much faith when he was completely shrugged off by Michael Olise for the opening goal just 12 minutes in after failing in a lunge to claim the ball.
The same can then be said for Jean Philippe Mateta’s contribution in extending the Eagles’ lead to 2-0, where both Casemiro and 36-year-old Jonny Evans were left in no man’s land.
Casemiro’s horror showing continued after the interval
For Olise’s second of the night, Casemiro was easily dispossessed and seemingly bullied off the ball by Daniel Munoz, leaving him on the turf in the process.
Munoz squared it straight to his French teammate, who then fired home a scintillating and unstoppable strike to round off Palace’s relentless 4-0 victory.
