Man Utd fans loving Casemiro grabbing new-boy Rasmus Hojlund in Arsenal clash and call it ‘moment of the match’

MANCHESTER UNITED fans loved the way Casemiro tried to fire up new signing Rasmus Hojlund.

The striker finally made his long-awaited debut following his £72m move from Atalanta, coming off the bench as 67th minute substitute versus Arsenal.

Hojlund had only been on the pitch for seven minutes before Casemiro encouraged him in aggressive fashion.

Man Utd had a corner and the Brazilian midfielder approached his new team-mate, shaking him by grabbing and pulling his shirt.

Fans loved it, one said: “Casemiro pumping up Hojlund is my favourite moment of the match.”

Another added: “Casemiro pulling Hojlund‘s shirt is gold. Absolutely love it.”

A third reacted: “Casemiro giving that boost to Hojlund is a sight to behold.”

Others compared the former Real Madrid star to Roy Keane with his act out of the ex-captain’s “motivational playbook”.

Hojlund came on to try to win the game for Man Utd and Erik ten Hag’s men believed they had when Alejandro Garnacho netted in the 89th minute.

However, the goal was chalked off for offside after a VAR check.

Arsenal ended up taking all three points with a 3-1 win after two last-gasp goals by Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus.

It was seemingly heading for a draw but the £105m man scored in the 96th minute before the striker wrapped it up 11 minutes into injury time.
