Manchester United were beaten at the death by an Alex Iwobi winner for Fulham on Saturday at Old Trafford.

After the game, there were many talking points, the manner of the winning goal, Fulham’s performance without key players, Manchester United’s form, their Champions League hopes and the pressure on Erik ten Hag.

But Chris Sutton was baffled by the actions of Casemiro and Rodrigo Muniz at half-time after they decided to swap shirts.

The former striker thinks it’s simply ’not a good look’ for the Manchester United and Fulham duo, as he told 606.

After just 53 minutes, Casemiro was forced off, whilst his fellow countryman on the other side played the entire game and helped his team to a famous victory.

That was Fulham’s first win at Old Trafford since 2003 and one that was richly deserved because they were better from start to finish. 

But it was the actions of Casemiro and Rodrigo Muniz that caught the eye of Chris Sutton and he wasn’t impressed.

“Did you ever swap shirts at half-time?” asked Sutton. “Is that for you? Muniz and Casemiro did it at half-time.

“I’m not so sure players should be doing that, it’s not a good look.”

Manchester United have bigger fish to fry…

This defeat was a kick in the teeth for the Man United fans, but they can’t say they didn’t see it coming because they have ridden their luck in recent weeks.

That win at Villa Park was huge, but it was pretty clear to all that they were second best and that continued for large parts of their game against Luton Town.

With the footballing structure of Manchester United changing, it will be interesting to see what the likes of Jim Ratcliffe make of this loss and what lies in store for Erik ten Hag.

Unless fifth spot opens up for Champions League football, there is every chance that no Champions League football is delivered for next season, which then puts immense pressure on the manager.
