Reflecting on Manchester United’s 4-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher shared his views on Monday Night Football.
Casemiro, deployed as a center-back, bore responsibility for both the opening and closing goals conceded by United.
Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports post-match, acknowledged Casemiro’s illustrious career achievements but suggested it might be time for him to step away from the top level.
The former England defender emphasized the importance of leaving the game on one’s terms, quoting a familiar adage: “Leave the football, before the football leaves you.”
He advocated for a respectful exit for Casemiro, suggesting a negotiated settlement with the club.
After the game, Carragher said, “I am nowhere near on what that man has achieved, winning Champions League, playing for Brazil and Real Madrid.
“But I always remember something when I retired myself, there’s a saying I always remember: Leave the football, before the football leaves you. The football has left him at this top level. He has to call it a day and move.
“They should pay him off and do some sort of deal. But that sort of a player, should not be put through this. 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 go what he’s going through and has to call it a day.”
