Casemiro Breaks Tackling Record in Manchester Derby

According to Bolasport.com, Casemiro delivered an exceptional defensive performance as Manchester United drew goalless against Manchester City at Old Trafford — in matchday 31 of the Premier League played yesterday.

Despite United only maintaining 40 percent possession throughout the match, Erik ten Hag’s side managed to create more opportunities — with 11 shots compared to City’s 9.

Casemiro dominated in his defensive role by recording 11 successful tackles during the 90-minute contest — a feat unmatched by any United player in a single Premier League match since the 2006-2007 season.

The match showcased Casemiro’s importance in maintaining defensive solidity for Manchester United—especially given their limited possession. His ability to break up City’s attacks and provide protection for the backline was crucial in earning a valuable point for United.

As the season progresses, United will look to improve their possession and attacking efficiency—but Casemiro’s performance highlights his pivotal role in the team’s defensive strategy.
