Throughout the course of the month, Casemiro’s performances stood out in bold relief. He delivered a standout display in a 3-0 Carabao Cup triumph over Crystal Palace, where his contributions included a spectacular goal and an exquisite assist for Anthony Martial. In the challenging UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich, Casemiro showcased his prowess by netting two goals, even amidst the team’s broader struggles.
This 31-year-old midfielder emerged as a potent force during set-pieces and left an indelible mark by featuring in all six games throughout September. Nevertheless, a hiccup occurred when Casemiro received a second yellow card and a subsequent expulsion during a 3-2 defeat against Galatasaray in the opening match of October. Regrettably, this means he will be absent for the upcoming Group A fixture against FC Copenhagen on October 24, immediately following the international break.
In recognition of his exceptional contributions, Casemiro has clinched the Player of the Month award for the third time since joining Manchester United from Real Madrid last year. Our heartfelt thanks extend to everyone who actively participated in the poll, as your votes played a pivotal role in securing this well-deserved accolade for Casemiro.
