Manchester United star Casemiro was spotted arguing with Bruno Fernandes after their win over Aston Villa.
The Red Devils managed to claim a vital 1-0
victory over Unai Emery’s high-flyers to all but confirm a spot in the top
four.
But Casemiro was less than pleased with
Fernandes at full-time after losing the ball with 20 seconds left on the clock.
The Brazilian could be seen in a heated
argument with the midfielder, venting his frustrations over some careless play.
In the end, the two hugged it out but it
showed Casemiro’s winning spirit that has had such a big impact at Old
Trafford.
The former Real Madrid star left the Bernabeu
for United last summer and has proved a fine purchase for Erik ten Hag.
Meanwhile, Fernandes was the match-winner
against Aston Villa after his first-half strike.
The Portugal international raced in after Emi
Martinez’s meek save was palmed into his direction while his shot took a
deflection to fly past the Argentine.
Casemiro holding Bruno accountable for
stupidly losing the ball with 20 seconds left, we almost conceded at the death
because of it. Elite MENTALITY!!
Just moments before, Jadon Sancho had told
Fernandes to ‘stop moaning’ in a game where his teammates appeared out to get
him.
However, his goal in the 1-0 win has proved
crucial to the Red Devils, who have moved nine points clear of fifth-placed
Tottenham, who face Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
United can now likely start preparing for
next season in the Champions League after being absent from the competition
this year.
After the match, Ten Hag said: “I’m very
happy with the points, but also with the performance.
“It’s a very good performance against a Villa
team, unbeaten for 10 games and scoring in every game.
“The score could have been 3-1 or 4-1, that’s
a very good performance.”
