Jamie Carragher has now talked about how Casemiro has become a completely different midfielder for Man Utd.
He is different now:
Casemiro has been giving giving back to back really very great performances for Manchester United. Casemiro has been one of the best midfielders in the Premier League at the moment. The team have already begun to try and extend his contract. However, he announced that he is going to leave Manchester United at the end of the season too. Casemiro is scoring a lot of goals for the team in terms of set pieces as well as open play too. He is also scoring a lot of goals in terms of headers as well. The player makes a lot of very great passes as well. He has really been a very crucial part of the team and there is no doubt about it either.
During the first few matches for Manchester United, he performed well for the Reds. However, later on he started to perform horrendously. The player was being criticised as well. Jamie Carragher and several other pundits too started to criticise him as well. He also said the iconic line about ” Leave the football before the football leaves you”. The player started improving himself later on. He started to score goals and also made sure to defend well too. The team is also unbeaten since three matches right now too.
He scored a goal too:
He also scored a goal in the last match too. He scored a very great header for Manchester United from a very great Bruno Fernandes free kick. Throughout the match, he has performed well. There is no doubt about it either that he acts as a very great pivot in the midfield to be honest. He is one of the best defensive players ever at the moment. The midfield of Manchester United is strong because of him and Maguire right now.
Jamie Carragher spoke before about the fact that how Casemiro needs to leave Manchester United and go Saudi instead. “I think Casemiro should know tonight that he should only have another three games left at the top level,” Carragher said then.
“The next two league games and the cup final, then he should be thinking, I need to go to the MLS or Saudi.
Casemiro did not go Saudi:
“This has to stop because we are watching one of the greats of modern times. I always remember the saying ‘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 and move.”
After Casemiro’s very great performance for Manchester United since the recent matches, he changed his mind. “It is now fair to say the football has not left him,” Carragher said on Super Sunday Extra Time.
“Considering what he’s producing this season in the Premier League, and not just Fulham at home, you think what he did last week against Arsenal away and Manchester City at home.
🚨Set-piece goal… and not a single soul near the keeper. That’s how you do it, Arsenal! 😭😂

“Casemiro is well within his rights to, if he wants to come back at me and say, ‘leave the punditry before the punditry’s left you!’ He could definitely get one of those back in. Credit to him, he looks a completely different player.
Casemiro is consistent now for Man Utd:
“He looks like a different player physically as well. Even when I said that, you looked at him and he looked like an old man coming to the end of his time as a player.”
Casemiro is keeping his consistency up right now. He is performing really very well at the moment. If he keeps continuing this way and scoring goals then of course he will be able to go further and improve more throughout the season.
