‘That is criminal!’ – Paul Scholes blasts Man Utd star Casemiro for his role in Manchester derby defeat

Paul Scholes has blasted Casemiro for his ‘criminal’ defending in Manchester United’s derby defeat to Manchester City.

United took a shock lead just eight minutes into Sunday’s clash at the Etihad Stadium when Marcus Rashford lashed home a stunning effort from 30 yards out.

The hosts hit back through a screamer of their own with Phil Foden finding the same top corner to level the contest. With 10 minutes of the match remaining, Foden doubled his tally, playing a superb one-two with Julian Alvarez before slotting home with Erling Haaland wrapping up the 3-1 win in injury time.

Casemiro, who scored the late winner in United’s FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest midweek, turned in a solid display for much of the contest.  But the Brazil international was was unable to react quick enough for City’s second, failing to track Foden as he and Alvarez cut through.
