BREAKING: JAMIE CARRAGHER EATS WORDS AS CASEMIRO LEADS UNITED BACK INTO TOP FIVE
Jamie Carragher admits Casemiro looks "a stone lighter" as the Brazilian's resurgence under Amorim fuels United’s top-five charge.
Jamie Carragher, who talks about soccer on Sky Sports, is kind of backtracking on what he said about Casemiro. Remember how Carragher said back in May 2024 that soccer had left him? Well, now that Casemiro is doing better under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, Carragher is changing his tune and saying the 33-year-old still has some game left.
Carragher Takes Back Harsh Words About Casemiro From 2024
Casemiro has been playing a big part for Amorim this season. He's started 15 out of 16 league games when he's been available, and he's scored four goals for United.
He's got six months left on his contract at Old Trafford, and no one knows what will happen next. But he's sure to be important for the rest of the season as United tries to get back into the Champions League. They're back in the top five after beating Newcastle United right after Christmas.
Carragher has noticed that Casemiro is playing better, even though Carragher gave him a hard time a year and a half ago. Before United's game against Newcastle, Carragher said Casemiro looked fitter and almost a stone lighter than he did on that awful night in London in May 2024 when Crystal Palace beat United 4-0.
'Good on 'Him'—Casemiro Gets Praise After a Good 2025/26 Season
Before the game, Carragher looked a little embarrassed when asked about what he said about Casemiro before.
Not yet (laughs), Carragher said on Sky Sports. Good on him, but Man United was way down in the standings last season. But, you know, when I see him now? Good on him; he looks physically different. I remember that Crystal Palace game; he looks way lighter. He was never going to leave with that contract; that's the problem with the deals they've made since they last won the league. It's not going to be renewed, so that's where they'll start looking for new players in January or the summer.
What Carragher Said About Casemiro in May 2024
Carragher really went after Casemiro after he played badly against Crystal Palace. Michael Olise scored twice, and Jean-Phillipe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell also scored.
Carragher said live on Sky Sports that night, "Casemiro should know he only has three games left at the top level." The next two league games and the cup final, then he should think about going to the MLS or Saudi Arabia.
This has to stop because we're watching one of the greats. I always remember the saying, 'Leave the soccer before the soccer leaves you.'
The soccer has left him. He needs to stop playing at this level and move on. He's too good to play like that and get laughed at by Crystal Palace. He needs to call it a day.
Casemiro Has a Big Job as United Tries for Europe
United is back in the top five in the league after beating Newcastle 1-0 on Friday. Patrick Dorgu scored the winning goal.
Casemiro started for Amorim, but Leny Yoro replaced him after an hour. Like in other games this season, United wasn't as good when Casemiro came off—but they managed to win.
Carragher said that Casemiro makes a lot of money—around £350,000 ($452,296) a week—so the club might not renew his contract when it ends on June 30, 2026. He can start talking to other clubs in January, but Amorim said they haven't decided about his contract yet.
No matter what happens in the next six months, Casemiro will be important as United tries to get back into the Champions League. He'll want to keep proving his doubters wrong.
EX-CAPTAIN NEVILLE CLAIMS SUBSTITUTIONS MADE MANCHESTER UNITED "WORSE" AGAINST WOLVES
Gary Neville slams Ruben Amorim’s "weird" substitutions and tactical shifts after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with bottom-side Wolves.
Gary Neville said that the performance of Manchester United in their match against winless Wolves was ‘the baddest of the bad.’
United would have moved fourth in the league with a win at Old Trafford last night, although Wolves, who had two points in 18 games before kickoff, ended their record of 11 straight losses with a 1-1 draw.
Amorim’s team had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a League Two team, Grimsby, in August, but Neville was convinced that United had hit rock bottom in a game that could have been even more one-sided were it not for two important saves by Senne Lammens.
“That was the baddest of the bad," the former United captain declared on the Gary Neville podcast.
“They weren’t just booed off at the final whistle. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They’ve gone backwards.”
United had won at Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day, despite being plagued by an injury list that already lacked skipper Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as three players on African Cup of Nations duty.
But they remained flat right from the first whistle, and the header by Ladislav Krejci just before the half bottled Joshua Zirkzee's deflected shot.
Amorim’s formation choice of 3-4-3 was brought into focus once more as the Portuguese opted to go back to his preferred tactic of four at the back against Newcastle.
“This isn’t right. I’ve watched enough of United over the last five or six weeks to know what looks right and what isn’t right,” Neville had declared 20 minutes into his commentary on Sky Sports.
“Because, when I see that we go back (to three at the back) after five minutes tonight, I’m thinking, no, Ruben, why have you done that?
"The manager has to look at that and think, I got that wrong. I complicated it."
However, Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee at halftime and brought on an 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, who made his third appearance at the senior level.
Regarding substitutions made by Amorim, Neville further added, “They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was ridiculous.”
‘If Zirkzee was injured, and it was a tactical substitution, that was a very poor one.’ But Zirkzee isn't Eric Cantona, not by a long shot, and he had to get out there for physicality, for presence, for experience.”
SEE LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S FURIOUS REACTION AFTER MAN UTD’S SHOCK WOLVES DRAW
Lisandro Martinez demands more after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves. United ended 2025 sixth in the Premier League.
Stand-in captain Lisandro Martinez was mad that Manchester United dropped points against Wolves, who are at the bottom of the league.
United came into the last game of 2025 after a good win against Newcastle on Boxing Day and were expected to easily beat Wolves.
Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but they didn't take their chances. Ladislav Krejci's header tied the game for Wolves, 1-1.
It was only their third point in 19 games, and it stopped their 11-game losing streak. United fans booed at the end of the game.
When Martinez was asked if it felt like a disappointing point, he said, 100 percent.
We are very disappointed. We can't keep drawing or losing points at home. We have to win.
We want to be at the top, competing with the best.
We can't drop points in games like this. We just have to accept it and be hungry for the next game.
Martinez was captain again because Bruno Fernandes is still recovering from an injury.
When United coach Ruben Amorim was asked about injured players for the game against Leeds on Sunday, he didn't give much away. Leeds are really wanting to beat United for the first time since 2010.
Martinez said to MUTV, You can either make excuses, or you can be strong and say, 'We're dropping points, so we need to go for the next one and show what we can do.'
We need to work together and do the easy things to get the three points.
United is in sixth place in the league at the end of 2025, only two points behind Liverpool for the last Champions League spot. Liverpool has a game in hand.
They could be in a better position if they had been better in both boxes. Leeds has been playing well lately, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin doing great up front.
Martinez added, It's about us. I don't like to think about other teams.
I'm thinking about what we can do to get better as a team every day, and we have to learn from this game.
