• e-mail

Typically in this month of the year, Casemiro would compete in 肩書を与える deciders and look 今後 to another 支持する／優勝者s League final.

Such moments of wonder are now a distant memory for the Brazilian. His glories with Real Madrid must feel as though they belong to a different lifetime.

Instead, one of the most gifted 防御の midfielders of his 世代 finds himself lost in a dysfunctional Manchester 部隊d team 存在 told by pundits to 'call it a day.'

For the 記録，記録的な／記録する Casemiro is only 32 and it's a mere two years since he won the fifth of his 支持する／優勝者s League 勝利者s メダルs, when Real （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Liverpool 1-0 in Paris.

Hopes of getting 支援する into Europe's 最高の，を越す 競争 have long since faded for Erik ten Hag's 部隊d and after Monday's humiliating 4-0 敗北・負かす at 水晶 Palace, all 大陸の 競争 may yet pass them by next season.

It's just two years since Casemiro won the 支持する／優勝者s League with Real Madrid - but his career has 急落（する），激減（する）d from those 高さs after joining 部隊d

部隊d may struggle to make Europe at all next season に引き続いて their 最新の humiliating loss

Jamie Carragher tells Casemiro to 'call it a day' and 勧めるs Man 部隊d to '支払う／賃金 him off' because 'football has left him' after 失敗s led to two 水晶 Palace goals in 4-0 thrashing

That was 掴むd upon by Jamie Carragher in the Sky Sports studio, who said: 'Casemiro, deadly serious, should know himself tonight as an experienced player that he should only have another three games left at the 最高の，を越す level. The next two league games and the [FA] Cup final.

'And he should be t hinking: "I need to go to the MLS or Saudi". I'm deadly serious. He's ageing, the people around him need to tell him this has to stop.

'The football has left him at this 最高の，を越す level. He needs to call it a day at this level of football and move.'

It's definitely not how Casemiro, who 公約するd to 直す／買収する，八百長をする 部隊d's problems when he left the European 支持する／優勝者s in search of a fresh challenge in 2022, saw things panning out.

His first season at Old Trafford was a major success as he 設立するd himself as a leader in Ten Hag's 味方する and the dressing room にもかかわらず no 事前の experience of English football.

After 部隊d won the Carabao Cup and finished third in the 首相 League, everything looked 始める，決める to 押し進める on under Ten Hag.

But Casemiro - like the team in general - have looked a 影をつくる／尾行する of that. Even before the 傷害 lay-off that wiped out the middle of his season, the Brazilian looked as if he'd 老年の five years 夜通し.?

Casemiro, slotting in as a defender again, struggles to get to 支配するs with Palace's Eberechi Eze

Palace's 迅速な and tricky players 証明するd too much for Casemiro and 部隊d to 扱う

The Brazilian was moved off the ball too easily in the lead-up to Palace's fourth after hesitating

His movements looked leaden, his dynamism had disappeared a nd his 影響（力） both defensively and 押し進めるing 今後 減らすd. From 存在 Mr Reliable, he now looked over-run and culpable.

Whether playing と一緒に Scott McTominay, Sofyan Amrabat, Mason 開始する, Christian Eriksen or young Kobbie Mainoo, he suddenly seemed incapable of covering midfield space and 対抗者s capitalised.

圧力（をかける）d into 緊急 service in defence, Casemiro's loss of a yard of pace has been even more noticeable. His 業績／成果 と一緒に 退役軍人 Jonny Evans on Monday night was painful to watch.

The way he committed to a 取り組む of Michael Olise 50 yards from his goal but was effortlessly 団体／死体 swerved, leaving Evans and Diogo Dalot to 示す four Palace players and 許す Olise plenty of time to shoot and 得点する／非難する／２０, was not befitting of his experience.

Another botched 取り組む 近づく halfway left 部隊d exposed when ジーンズ-Philippe Mateta 攻撃するd home Palace's second with Casemiro not even in camera 発射 when the goal ball went in as he jogged 支援する.

He then lost 跡をつける of Tyrick Mitchell, who stole in to make it 3-0 before hesitating over a 通関手続き／一掃 and 存在 船d off the ball far-too-easily in the lead-up to Olise 強くたたくing home the fourth.

While there is mitigation in that Casemiro 明確に isn't a defender, it must 階級 の中で the poorest 業績／成果s of a glittering career.

It all led to another night to forget for both the Brazilian and his 部隊d 同僚s?

The 部隊d 未来s of both Casemiro and 経営者／支配人 Erik ten Hag are in the 空気／公表する this summer

His 全体にわたる stats for this season compared to that don't show a glaringly obvious 拒絶する／低下する across the board.

On a per game basis, Casemiro has 現実に enjoyed greater 取り組む success, passed with more 正確 and covered more ground.

Opta have 記録，記録的な／記録するd just one instance of when a Casemiro error led 直接／まっすぐに to a goal in 首相 League 活動／戦闘 but, as Monday night 証明するd, they can come more 間接に from misjudgements.

Perhaps the perception of Casemiro's 拒絶する／低下する comes from things that are obvious to those watching.?

For instance, 対抗者s dribble past him 2.73 times a game on 普通の／平均（する） now as …に反対するd to just 2.08 last season.

Casemiro's 首相 League stats for this season compared to last don't やむを得ず show an obvious 拒絶する／低下する in his game. 儀礼 of Opta

A £60million 調印 いっそう少なく than two years ago, Casemiro is 契約d to 部隊d until 2026.

But as Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos look to reset the dial - and with Ten Hag's 未来 also under scrutiny - it looks ますます likely he may be sold.

Whether that やむを得ず means Casemiro should 受託する father time has caught up with him and move to the MLS or Saudi プロの／賛成の League is another 事柄 完全に.

The 首相 League looks too much for him now, however. 一方／合間, his old mates at the Bernabeu are celebrating another league success with a 支持する／優勝者s League 半分-final decider on Wednesday.
