Manchester United were beaten 4-0 by Crystal Palace this Monday, at Selhurst Park, in the 36th round of the English Championship. After the game, Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool player, harshly criticized Brazilian Casemiro’s performance.
“It was comical, embarrassing. Casemiro… It’s sad to see a great athlete play like this, with what he achieved, but he’s miles away from him,” he said during a broadcast onSky Sports.
According to data from the Sofascore, the midfielder became the first United player to be dribbled past more than seven times in a single match since the start of the 2015/16 season. In addition, he was also involved in Crystal Palace’s goal attempts.
‘Casemiro in MLS or Saudi Arabia’
Carragher even suggested that Casemiro move to the USA or Saudi Arabia.
“Casemiro should know, as an experienced player, that he only has three more games left at a high level. The next two league games and the FA Cup final. He should be thinking: ‘I’ve got to go to MLS or Saudi Arabia.”
In the current season, the Brazilian suffered a serious thigh injury in November last year, which left him sidelined for around three months. Upon his return, he was unable to maintain the good performance presented previously.
Manchester United takes the field again next Sunday, at 12:30 pm (Brasília time), against Arsenal, at Old Trafford, in the Premier League.
