More than a year and a half ago, Carragher boldly declared that "Casemiro should retire" after witnessing the Brazilian midfielder's declining form in the final stages of the 2023/24 season.

“I always remember a saying after retiring: 'Leave football before football leaves you.' Top football has left Casemiro. He should stop at this level and leave. A player of his caliber should not be suffering like this," Carragher criticized the MU midfielder.

But 18 months later, Carragher’s comments were ridiculed as Casemiro is showing signs of “revival” at Old Trafford. On November 1, the former Real Madrid star scored 1 goal in MU’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest in round 10 of the Premier League.

Since the start of the season, Casemiro has scored 3 goals in the Premier League, an impressive number for a defensive midfielder. Not only contributing with goals, Casemiro has also shown the image of a true leader - experienced, passionate and always knows how to inspire his teammates.

Under the guidance of coach Ruben Amorim, Casemiro is becoming an important factor in a tactical system rich in energy and discipline.

Casemiro's contract with MU is valid until the summer of 2026. If he maintains his current performance, he may be considered for a new contract.
