SportFootballCasemiroCasemiro believes that Jamie Carragher has u-turned on his famous "leave the football dig" and his comments stemmed from him being bitter about Liverpool's Champions League lossesCasemiro claims that Jamie Carragher's "leave the football" jibe from two years ago was likely born out of "bitterness" after seeing his beloved Liverpool lose twice to the Brazilian's Real Madrid in Champions League finals.The Manchester United midfielder will leave Old Trafford in summer when his contract expires despite enjoying a return to form under Michael Carrick. During his time at the Bernabeu, he won the Champions League five times, downing Liverpool in finals in 2018 and 2022, and believes Carragher may have been rattled by those when he took his famous swipe at him.Back in 2024, when United were in the midst of a dire run of form, Casemiro was singled out with Carragher claiming he needed to leave the Premier League.He said: "This has to stop because we are watching one of the greats of the modern time.

The level of that player, he should not be putting himself through this. He said: “I respect his opinion.

The important thing is that he recognised he was wrong and changed his opinion. That’s what matters most.”Casemiro has come up with several big goals, enjoying his best ever year in the final third, and Carragher said recently that he would have to cop it if the Brazilian wanted to fire back.He said: "Considering what he's producing this season in the Premier League, and not just Fulham at home, you think what he did last week against Arsenal away and Manchester City at home."Casemiro is well within his rights to, if he wants to come back at me and say, 'leave the punditry before the punditry's left you!' He could definitely get one of those back in.
