Carragher Softens Casemiro Critique After United Veteran’s Revival Under Amorim

The Sky Sports analyst now points to a leaner, sharper Casemiro thriving in Ruben Amorim’s midfield after last year’s Crystal Palace low point.

Overview

  • Jamie Carragher, who said in 2024 that “the football has left him,” has publicly revised his view of Casemiro’s level.
  • Under Ruben Amorim this season, Casemiro has scored four goals in 15 appearances and re-established himself as a key midfielder.
  • Carragher noted the Brazilian looks “a different player physically,” even suggesting he appears almost a stone lighter than during the Palace defeat.
  • The 33-year-old has entered the final six months of his Manchester United contract, keeping his future unresolved.
  • Reports link United with midfield options such as Carlos Baleba and Elliot Anderson, and Carragher suggested the club may seek reinforcements in January or the summer.
