Jamie Carragher has told Manchester United star Casemiro to leave the club in the wake of his horror show at Selhurst Park as the Red Devils got thrashed 4-0.
According to the former Liverpool defender, Casemiro needs to call it a day at Old Trafford and move somewhere else.
On Monday night, Casemiro was at fault for two of Crystal Palace’s four goals, with many referring to his defending as atrocious on the night.
Not a single Manchester United player shone in that embarrassing 4-0 defeat, but Casemiro is being called out for his performance, given his pedigree, as he got bamboozled by Michael Olise for the first Palace goal, who was electric on the night.
With two years left on his contract at Manchester United, Jamie Carragher believes Casemiro needs to leave, urging the club to pay him off.
According to Carragher, Casemiro should try the MLS or Saudi Arabia, and that means that he should have only three games left at this level of football.
Jamie Carragher told Sky Sports: “Casemiro should know tonight as an experienced player that he should only have another three games left at the top level – the next two [Premier] league games and the [FA] cup final – then he should be thinking I need to go to the MLS or Saudi.
“I’m deadly serious – his agent, the team of people around him, they need to tell him: this has to stop.
“We are watching one of the greats of the modern time, playing in the best midfields we have seen who have dominated Europe – him holding, [Toni] Kroos to one side, [Luka] Modric to the other was one of the best midfield.
“Could easily go up against the Barcelona midfield that we all loved of [Sergio] Busquets, Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta.
“So he’s been an absolute great.
“I am nowhere near on a level of what that man has achieved, [winning] Champions League’s, playing for Brazil and Real Madrid.
“But I always remember something when I retired myself, and there was a saying I always remember as a footballer: “Leave the football, before the football leaves you”.
Jamie Carragher believes the football has left Casemiro at this point, and he should be looking for a way out, urging Manchester United to find a deal for him for his exit from the club.
“The football has left him – at this top level. He needs to call it a day at this level of football and move.”
“They should pay him off and do some sort of deal. But the level of that player, should not be putting himself through this.
“He’s too good of a player to be putting in a performance like that and being laughed at…by Crystal Palace.
“He’s not playing Manchester City or Real Madrid, all due to respect to Crystal Palace.
“A man of that level should not be going through what he’s going through now and he needs to call it a day.”
