Man United fans fume over Casemiro's reaction to embarrassing Europa League elimination to Sevilla

Casemiro has angered Manchester United fans with his reaction after the Red Devils were knocked out of the Europa League in embarrassing fashion.

Having been 2-0 up and cruising in the first leg courtesy of a Marcel Sabitzer brace, United conceded two bizarre late own goals at Old Trafford.

They headed to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan for the second leg on Thursday night and suffered a dismal 3-0 defeat against the six-time winners, who are currently 13th in La Liga.

Youssef En-Nesyri struck twice with two absolute gifts from both David de Gea and Harry Maguire, either side of a header from Loic Balde just after half-time.

Sevilla set up a semi-final clash with Juventus, while United were dumped out of the competition and must respond against Brighton in the FA Cup at Wembley on Sunday.

Casemiro had one of his worst displays in a United shirt since joining in a reported £70 million switch and was booked for the tenth time this season in Andalusia.

United fans have adored what he's brought to the table this term but they were not happy with his post-match antics.

Casemiro was spotted grinning and laughing with referee Arthur Dias on the BT Sport cameras and riled up supporters who were seething after a humiliating loss.

A second tweeted: "Casemiro laughing with the ref right after that dreadful performance?! Clearly not as gutted as the fans standing in the terrace who've paid a fortune to watch that shambles!

A third vented: "Why the f*** is Casemiro smiling I don’t know what there is to smile about."

Another added: "Casemiro laughing with the ref after losing in such a way? Shocking scenes."

A non-United fan weighed in, writing: "Why on earth is Casemiro laughing and joking with the referee after the final whistle when his team have just been humiliated??? That'd infuriate me if I was a Manchester Utd fan."

Manager Erik ten Hag branded the performance and result "unacceptable" and admitted that these poor displays have happened "too often" this season.

United were without talisman Bruno Fernandes for the humbling due to his yellow card picked up in the first leg. He will be available for the semi-final meeting with Brighton on Sunday.
