Jamie Carragher is revising his earlier criticism of Manchester United midfielder Casemiro after the player publicly pushed back. The reports say Carragher had made harsh comments in 2024 during a period when Casemiro was struggling at Old Trafford. In those remarks, Carragher suggested Casemiro was no longer at the top level, and the criticism later drew reactions from Casemiro and others.
The outlets report that Carragher now characterizes his previous assessment as too harsh and says the comments were effectively a form of disrespect toward the player. They also note that Casemiro has since regained form, including strong performances in his final spell at the club, and that he has described Carragher’s remarks as “disrespectful.”
The Independent and other coverage present the change as a late-career clarification: Carragher is acknowledging that his earlier judgment did not reflect Casemiro’s later impact, as United prepare for what sources describe as his farewell. Across the articles, the central point is that Carragher is backing away from the 2024 critique following Casemiro’s response and improved performances.
