Rio Ferdinand has hit out at Jamie Carragher’s comments about Casemiro after his poor display against Liverpool.
The Brazilian was hooked at half-time of Manchester United’s 3-0 loss, having given the ball away for the first two goals – both of which were scored by Luis Diaz.
£70 million signing Casemiro looked devoid of confidence after the two mistakes and was replaced by 20-year-old Toby Collyer, who made his Premier League debut.
On Sky Sports, Carragher said it was a “sad sight” to see the former Real Madrid star struggling so badly.
It followed on from his brutal “leave the football before the football leaves you” comment after Casemiro’s shocking display at centre-back against Crystal Palace towards the end of last season.
Ferdinand brought up that comment from Carragher and accused the former Liverpool star of being “highly disrespectful”.
He then proceeded to leap to the defence of the 32-year-old, feeling as though he is being asked to do things at United which are not part of his skillset and reminding people of what he did at Real.
