Former Manchester United goalkeeper, Ben Foster, has voiced his displeasure over Casemiro’s performance during United’s recent 2-2 draw against Bournemouth.
The match, which saw United struggle to secure a point at the Vitality Stadium, has severely impacted their chances of finishing in the Premier League’s top four.
Discussing the match on his YouTube channel, Foster pinpointed Casemiro’s role in the second Bournemouth goal as particularly problematic.
He described the Brazilian midfielder’s effort as lackluster, emphasizing that Casemiro’s primary role is to disrupt the opposition’s attacks—a task at which he failed during a crucial moment.
“The second goal, for me, is an absolute disgrace,” Foster remarked. He criticized Casemiro for only passively engaging as Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert advanced to score.
“He’s allowed to wander into that space and get his shot off. Casemiro almost notices at the last second, meanders in, hangs a leg in there.”
Foster suggested that such a lapse in defensive duty would normally prompt immediate substitution if he were in charge.
The draw leaves Manchester United 13 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa, with just six games left in the season, diminishing their chances of securing a Champions League spot.
