Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been left out of the Brazil squad for the upcoming Copa America, following his disappointing performance in United’s 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace. The 32-year-old, who has been a regular feature in the Brazil squad with 75 appearances, has seen his club form decline under manager Erik ten Hag.

Casemiro’s struggles were highlighted in United’s defeat to Palace, where he was criticized for his performance at center-back due to United’s injury crisis. Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher suggested that Casemiro should consider retiring from top-level football and move to a less competitive league, citing his age and recent form. However, not all pundits agree with Carragher’s assessment, with Arsenal icon Ian Wright defending Casemiro and calling Carragher’s comments disrespectful.

Despite the criticism, Casemiro may be called upon to play in defense again this weekend as United face league leaders Arsenal, with Ten Hag confirming that Lisando Martinez will not be available for selection. United will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to Palace and face a tough challenge against Mikel Arteta’s Gunners.
