Manchester United’s Casemiro has silenced doubters with a stunning resurgence, proving he’s far from finished despite pundit Jamie Carragher’s call for his retirement. The Brazilian midfielder, now 33, has been pivotal in United’s recent matches, scoring three goals this season—surpassing Carragher’s career tally—and anchoring the midfield with veteran poise. His performances, despite the team’s mid-table struggles, have sparked a wave of support on X, with #CasemiroKing trending.
“Casemiro’s proving age is just a number,” posted by a X user, echoing fans who demand an apology from Carragher. The pundit’s critique, aired on Sky Sports, labeled Casemiro a liability, but the player’s response—highlighted by a match-winning assist against Arsenal—has flipped the narrative. Manager Erik ten Hag praised his leadership, saying, “He’s the heart of our squad.” Off the pitch, Casemiro’s charity work with Manchester youth has further endeared him to locals.
Critics note United’s broader challenges, with injuries and inconsistent tactics hampering their Premier League campaign. Yet, Casemiro’s grit offers hope as they face a crucial stretch, including a Europa League clash next week.
