Jamie Carragher tells United’s Casemiro to “call it a day” after humiliating defeat to Crystal Palace
Erik ten Hag's men suffered their heaviest loss of the season as their hopes of securing European football next season suffered a major blow at Selhurst Park
Jamie Carragher has urged Casemiro to “call it a day” move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS after his underwhelming performance in the 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Monday (6 May) night.
Erik ten Hag‘s men suffered their heaviest loss of the season as their hopes of securing European football next season suffered a major blow at Selhurst Park.
Casemiro, who deputised at centre back for an injury-hit Man United side, had an evening to forget and played a role in two of Palace’s goals.
“He needs to call it a day at this level of football and move,” the former Liverpool defender Carragher said on Sky Sports.
“I know he’s got kids on the bench but I think Casemiro, deadly serious, should know himself tonight as an experienced player that he should only have another three games left at the top level. The next two league games and the [FA] cup final.”
“And he should be thinking ‘I need to go to the MLS or Saudi’. I’m deadly serious. He’s aging, the people around him they need to tell him this has to stop.”

Carragher hailed the Brazilian as a “great” of the modern era, but claimed “football has left him” and believes the former Real Madrid star should drop down a few levels this summer.
“We are watching one of the greats of the modern time playing in one of the best midfielders we’ve seen who dominated Europe.”
‘Him holding, [Toni] Kroos to one side [Luka] Modric to the other was one of the best midfielders. Could easily go up against the Barcelona midfield we all loved (with) [Sergio] Busquets, Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta.
‘He’s been an absolute great. I am nowhere near on a level of what that man has achieved. Champions League, playing for Brazil, playing for Real Madrid. But I always remember something when I retired myself, there was a saying I always remember as a footballer, ‘leave the football before the football leaves you.”
“The football has left him at this top level he needs to call it a day at this level of football and move,” Carragher added.
