Manchester United fans believe they spotted the moment Casemiro volunteered to take the first penalty in the FA Cup semi-final penalty shoot-out win over Brighton.
The Brazilian slid home United’s first spot-kick in cool fashion to calm the team’s nerves with subsequent takers Diogo Dalot, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Marcel Sabitzer, Wout Weghorst and Victor Lindelof all finding the net.
Solly March’s missed penalty allowed Lindelof to fire the Reds into their first FA Cup final since 2018. Casemiro played the full 120 minutes of a gruelling contest with the Seagulls, who ended the game with 61 per cent possession.
