Casemiro has been singled out for criticism after Manchester United’s 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, and Jamie Carragher has given him career advice following his performance.

The veteran midfielder was played in defence due to multiple injuries in the team, including captain Bruno Fernandes, who missed his first game due to injury in his career.

Per Squawka, the former Real Madrid star, who skippered the side was dribbled past eight times, the most in the Premier League this season, including for Michael Olise’s first goal.

His performance has united the voices of fans and pundits, who want him off the team as soon as possible.

Carragher sends message to Casemiro

British pundit and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher led the criticism of Casemiro and sent a message to those around him to advise the decorated star on what to do next.

He acknowledged the 32-year-old as one of the greatest of all time in his position but claimed his days at the top are over, and he should consider his next move.

“I think Casemiro should know himself tonight as an experienced player, that he should only have another three games at the top level, the next two league games and the cup final, and think I need to go to the MLS or Saudi,” Carragher said on Monday Night Football.
“His agent or the people around him need to tell him it has to stop… Football has left him at the top level. He needs to call it a day at this level of football and move,” he added.

The midfielder's days are numbered in the team, and he could be on his way out of the club this summer, with minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, not a fan, mainly because the club paid so much for him.

Fans issue advice to Casemiro

Sports Brief previously reported on fans advising Casemiro to go to Saudi after his poor performance in Manchester United’s dramatic 4-3 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The five-time UEFA Champions League winner was caught on multiple times, allowing opponents to walk past him and then sluggishly jogging after them.
