Carlos Henrique Casemiro is not having a good year at Manchester United. In fact, he has not been having a good run in the Premier League since leaving Real Madrid in search of adventures that have not been satisfactory for the Brazilian.
The latest example is his side's 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday. The Brazilian, who was forced to play at centre-back due to defensive shortcomings, was heavily criticised for his performances.
"I said at half-time he's (Ten Hag) got to bring Casemiro off. 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," Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher told 'Sky Sports'.
"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. He's been an absolute great. I am nowhere near on a level of what that man has achieved. Champions Leagues, playing for Brazil, playing for Real Madrid," he continued.
"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," he concluded.
