Official: Man Utd star wins player of the week award
Manchester United’s Casemiro has won player of the week award following their strong performance in early 2026 which put them in a favorable position for a potential Champions League spot
The team are currently unbeaten in the Premier League since the start of the year, and their recent performances under manager Michael Carrick have sparked optimism among fans and analysts alike.
In their latest match against Fulham, United secured a thrilling 3-2 victory, with Casemiro opening the scoring early on. Matheus Cunha extended the lead, but Fulham fought back to level the score.
However, Benjamin Sesko’s stoppage-time winner ensured all three points for the Red Devils. The Slovenian’s late goal marked his sixth of the season, showing his effectiveness off the bench.
This victory was particularly significant, as it added to a run of impressive results, including wins over Manchester City and Arsenal.
United now sit fourth in the Premier League, and the prospect of qualifying for the Champions League is becoming increasingly realistic.
Casemiro’s outstanding performance against Fulham earned him the Premier League Player of the Week award for the fourth consecutive week, with United players dominating the individual accolades.
The 33-year-old midfielder played a key role, not only scoring but also assisting Cunha for the second goal.
Defensively, he contributed 10 clearances and completed 52 touches in the game.
With Casemiro continuing to deliver solid performances, United’s chances of securing a Champions League spot look brighter as they head into the final stretch of the season.
