Manchester United fans react as Casemiro shares Christian Eriksen joke

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro was captured pretending to stamp on Christian Eriksen's injured ankle after the Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle.

The Brazilian midfielder scored the opening goal for United at Wembley on Sunday, with Marcus Rashford adding a second as the Reds secured a 2-0 win over the Magpies. Casemiro, who broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute, was named man of the match as United lifted their first trophy since 2017.

Despite having won 18 trophies - including five Champions League titles - during his time with Real Madrid, the United star was keen to celebrate the Reds' Carabao Cup triumph as if it was his first-ever piece of silverware. The 31-year-old did not hold back in his celebrations after the match.
