Midfielder Casemiro was particularly culpable for the first two goals, giving away the ball in crucial areas and facing the consequences.

After a dismal performance that drew heavy criticism, he was substituted at halftime for 20-year-old Toby Collyer.

United fans criticise Casemiro and Rashford

While the Brazilian faced significant backlash, fans were equally frustrated with Marcus Rashford, who once again failed to make an impact and appears to be a shadow of the player who netted 30 goals in Erik ten Hag's first season.

"Has the Saudi transfer window closed?asking for a friend… The friend is Casemiro."

@LeroyMo00397033 said:

"Casemiro should retire immediately before he ruins he's legacy."

@SamHartles91 commented:

"I hope it’s your last match. You should be ashamed of how you played today."

@mystercliche added:

"I think from today onwards we can all agree that Casemiro is a squad player."

@coachee403 said:

"I would really love to know why Rashford can’t be benched. He’s been abysmal for 18month and you’re still trying to play him to form."

@jacktalksunited posted:

"Casemiro needs to disappear as soon as possible. Rashford should have been dropped and sold a year ago. Ten hag needs sacking if we don’t beat Southampton."

@LewisMUFC4LIFE commented:

"Rashford and Casemiro, get out of my football club in January."

Salah sets new Premier League record

Earlier, Briefly News reported that Mo Salah is off to a flying start this season, leading Liverpool to a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.

The Egyptian star didn’t just secure the victory; he set a new Premier League record, surpassing icons like Alan Shearer, Frank Lampard, and Wayne Rooney.
