Jamie Carragher has urged Casemiro to ‘call it a day’ and move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS after his poor display in the 4-0 defeat at 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.
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.

The Crystal Palace winger had picked up the ball midway through United’s half and skipped past Casemiro, who fell to the ground after lunging in.
Crystal Palace doubled their lead five minutes before the break thanks to a thumping striker by Jean-Philippe Mateta before Tyrick Mitchell made it three just before the hour mark.
Casemiro’s evening then went from bad to worse when he was robbed of possession by Daniel Munoz.
The Colombian then played a pass to Olise, who slammed the ball home to put Palace four goals up on the night after 66 minutes.
