Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright has criticized fellow pundit Jamie Carragher for what he considers “disrespectful” remarks directed at Manchester United midfielder Casemiro following the Red Devils’ devastating 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace on Monday.
Under the management of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United suffered a significant setback on Monday evening as Crystal Palace secured a remarkable victory, fueled by Michael Olise’s brace and goals from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell.
This historic win marks Crystal Palace’s first league double over Manchester United, intensifying scrutiny on Ten Hag’s leadership.
Analyzing United’s performance on Monday Night Football, Carragher labeled it “embarrassing” and singled out Casemiro for criticism, suggesting that the Brazilian’s effectiveness at the highest level is waning.
However, Wright vehemently disagreed with Carragher’s assessment, asserting that Casemiro would thrive in a more cohesive team setup.
Speaking on his podcast, Wright expressed his disappointment at Carragher’s comments, highlighting Casemiro’s initial attraction to joining Manchester United and his unexpected struggle within the team’s current disarray.
Wright argued that Carragher’s remarks overlook the difficulties Casemiro faces amid Manchester United’s present situation and reject the notion that the Brazilian’s career is on a downward trajectory.
