Former Arsenal attacker, Ian Wright, has lambasted fellow pundit Jamie Carragher for what he describes as “disrespectful” comments aimed at Manchester United midfielder Casemiro following the Red Devils’ crushing 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday.

Under the helm of Erik ten Hag, Manchester United plummeted to a new nadir on Monday night as Crystal Palace secured an extraordinary victory, spurred by Michael Olise’s double and strikes from Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell.

This historic triumph marks Crystal Palace’s inaugural league double over Manchester United, intensifying the spotlight on Ten Hag’s tenure.

Carragher, analyzing United’s performance on Monday Night Football, labeled it “embarrassing” and singled out Casemiro for critique, suggesting that the Brazilian’s time at the top level is dwindling.

However, Wright vehemently disagreed with Carragher’s assessment, asserting that Casemiro would excel in a more cohesive team environment.

Wright contended that Carragher’s comments fail to acknowledge the challenges Casemiro faces amidst Manchester United’s current state and dismisses the notion that the Brazilian’s career is on a downward trajectory.
