Antony hits Manchester United milestone as fans share Casemiro frustration vs Everton

Here are your Manchester United evening headlines on Sunday, October 9:

Antony breaks United record

Manchester United star Antony has broken a Premier League record for his new club with his equaliser against Everton on Sunday.

The former Ajax man has enjoyed a good start to life at Old Trafford and has scored in each of his first two Premier League matches for the club. Antony scored the opener against Arsenal on his debut before scoring United's first in the hammering at Manchester City last weekend.

His goal at the Etihad Stadium moved the Brazilian level with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and several other United players who have scored in their first two matches in the English top flight. Against Everton, however, Antony moved out on his own after netting the leveller.

United fans' Casemiro theory

Manchester United fans have slammed Casemiro after he lost the ball in the build-up to Alex Iwobi's opener for Everton.

Erik ten Hag chose to start the Brazilian midfielder in the centre of the park against Omonia Nicosia following the 6-3 defeat to Manchester City last weekend. The 30-year-old kept his place for the game on Merseyside, ahead of Scott McTominay, but was left with his head in his hands just moments into the match.

Casemiro received the ball near the halfway line but his hesitation allowed Amadou Onana to nick the ball off of him. Everton worked the ball well to Iwobi who curled a brilliant shot beyond the reach of David de Gea.
