Protecting His Own! Ferdinand Hits Back at Carragher: It’s Disrespectful to Casemiro, He’s Still United’s Best Player

In the clash at Old Trafford, Manchester United suffered a humiliating 0-3 defeat to Liverpool, prompting Liverpool legend Carragher to criticize Casemiro, who made two costly errors, suggesting he should leave football. However, Manchester United legend Ferdinand rebutted Carragher’s comments, arguing that they lacked respect for Casemiro and maintained that Casemiro is still United’s finest player.

During the match against Liverpool, Casemiro’s two mistakes directly led to goals, resulting in his substitution at halftime. As a Liverpool legend, Carragher opined that Casemiro’s performance was extremely poor, even going as far as to say, “You should quit football before it quits you,” regarding Casemiro.

As a United legend, Ferdinand was highly dissatisfied with Carragher’s remarks, “I heard what Carragher said, and I think his words were disrespectful. You’ve forgotten what Casemiro has won in the past, focusing only on his recent mistakes.”

Ferdinand stated that Casemiro remains Manchester United’s best player, “If you look at the first two rounds of the season, you’ll see that Casemiro has been United’s best player. I think it’s more accurate to say he’s showing some signs of age.”

Ferdinand added that Casemiro has more responsibilities at Manchester United than he did at Real Madrid, “He’s asked to do a lot, including taking long shots and controlling the tempo, whereas at Real Madrid, he just needed to be a defensive shield, with other tasks handled by teammates.”
