Manchester United supporters have named the man of the match in the 4-1 win over Chelsea.
Just like the team of the season dilemma, there were quite a few contenders for man of the match against Chelsea last night.
Manchester United had four different goalscorers in the impressive home victory, and were close to keeping another clean sheet before Joao Felix’s late consolation.
The victory was an important one as it sealed a Champions League place for next season.
Manchester United fans name man of the match
Manchester United fans voted for the man of the match via the official site and club app.
Brazil international Casemiro topped the vote by a long way, which matched up with Gary Neville’s man of the match selection for Sky Sports.
He said: “Without Casemiro, United would not be heading back to the Champions League.”
Here is a look at how the poll results broke down…
- Casemiro: 71 per cent
- Bruno Fernandes: 15 per cent
- Jadon Sancho: 4 per cent
- Marcus Rashford: 3 per cent
- Other players two per cent or fewer.
Casemiro opened the scoring by heading in a Christian Eriksen free-kick. It was his seventh goal of the season, with two of them netted against Chelsea.
The Brazilian is a strong contender for United’s player of the year award. Gary Neville told Sky Sports this week he was his ‘signing of the season’. It’s hard to argue.
