Casemiro’s stunning goal against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup marked a symbolic end to the ten Hag era.
Fans celebrated the 15th-minute left-footed strike for its precision and power into the top right corner. The shot emerged well outside the box, 25 yards out.
But no one celebrated more than interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy, who seems to have breathed some fresh air into a stagnant side.
“All of a sudden Casemiro is scoring goals. They wanted the bald man out so bad,” said one X user.
“Now that Ten Laden is fired, we’re all praying for this United comeback to the top, aren’t we?” another said.
Alejandro Garnacho, who set up Casemiro’s evening opener, netted one of his own nearly 15 minutes later. Refueled, Casemiro got the brace in the 39th minute.
Finally, the Red Devils express optimism about their future, with names like Ruben Amorim set to take over next month. However, the next Premier League match against Chelsea will be a proper gut check on the revived excitement. Just how temporary will it be?
