Jamie Carragher has said Casemiro should “know that he should only have another three games left at the top level” after Manchester United’s humiliating 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
United were thrashed at Selhurst Park on Monday night, the latest result in a season of disappointments for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Due to injuries, Ten Hag was forced to play midfielder Casemiro as a centre-back in a makeshift back four, and the Brazilian endured one of his most difficult games in a United shirt.
The 32-year-old couldn’t handle the pace and skill of Palace’s star duo Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, with stats showing he was dribbled past a staggering eight times – the most for any player in a Premier League game this season.
The next two league games and the cup final, then he should be thinking, I need to go to the MLS or Saudi.”
Casemiro is a five-time Champions League winner and was a key part of the Real Madrid side who won the competition three years in a row from 2016 to 2018.
He signed on a four-year deal, meaning he still has two years left on his contract at Old Trafford.
The Brazilian impressed in his first season, and was named player of the match in the Red Devils’ League Cup final win against Newcastle.
The defeat at Crystal Palace was United’s 13th in the league this season, a Premier League record for the club.
They now sit eight in the league with three games to go, and in very real danger of missing out on European football altogether.
