Manchester United fans have been reacting on social media after seeing what Casemiro did when he was taken off against Athletic Club.
On Thursday night, Casemiro started for Ruben Amorim's side as they sealed their place in the final of the Europa League.
Already leading 3-0 from the first leg, United won 4-1 at Old Trafford thanks to a brace from Mason Mount plus goals by Casemiro and Rasmus Hojlund.
As a result, they will take on Tottenham Hotspur in the final, which will be held at the San Mames in Bilbao on May 21.
