“Get rid of him” — Jamie Carragher is sick of encounters with “embarrassing” Casemiro was the subject of Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher’s tirade after 45 minutes of Monday night’s match between Manchester United and Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, when United were behind 2-0.
The Brazilian has had a disastrous season for Manchester United so far, and his performance in the first half on Monday night in South London was no exception. Michael Olise set up the first goal for the Eagles, a move that Carragher called “embarrassing,” as the 32-year-old sat down.
Due to Man Utd’s injury issue at centre back, Casemiro has been stepping in, although he was not used appropriately for the encounter. Nevertheless, Carragher maintains that his involvement in the first goal is unrelated to that and has demanded the removal of the Brazil star.
Despite the fact that he is mispositioned tonight, that is unrelated to the situation at hand. A holding midfielder might fit that description. The commentator mentioned the humiliating situation and the necessity to remove him from the game during Sky Sports’ telecast.
Carragher said, “Nothing could be worse than Casemiro playing center-back in this second half,” in response to a question on if Ten Hag can bench Casemiro because to Man United’s injury problems. Assign someone to play fullback and put Wan-Bissaka in the centre.
United expected to lose Casemiro this summer.
There will be a lot of change at Old Trafford this summer when Sir Jim Ratcliffe takes over as manager of Manchester United. Before making any moves regarding player signings or trades, the Ineos CEO must determine Erik ten Hag’s future.
After a disastrous season, Casemiro’s shortcomings have been exposed once again by tonight’s performance, and he will likely be among the first names on the transfer list.
The 32-year-old has reached his peak performance and can no longer compete at the top level. Even though the midfielder’s most probable destination is Saudi Arabia, whether or not teams from that area sign him this summer is still up in the air.
