During Manchester United’s Premier League victory over Everton, Mark Goldbridge criticised a player, saying he should have been playing for the Blues due to his recklessness when in possession.

Man United defeats Everton 2-0, a crucial victory.

Erik ten Hag and his Red Devils players had another crucial afternoon on Saturday; the manager was aware that a win was necessary to ensure their unexpected Champions League status this year. A mistake would have severely hurt their hopes because they were behind Tottenham by six points and Aston Villa by eleven points entering the game.

While Everton’s subpar defence helped to calm United’s jitters, United was never really at their best at Old Trafford. James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey both gave up penalties for fouls on Alejandro Garnacho. With one each from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, the hosts took command of the game.

With the exception of an infrequent threat from the Blues, Ten Hag’s team coasted through the second half and easily sealed the victory.

Using X to vent throughout the match, Goldbridge wasn’t shy about calling Casemiro out, claiming in one post that he was “playing for Everton” because of how bad he was. They obviously have downed tools. DISCARD THEM.”

On a day that once again demonstrated that he doesn’t represent the future at Old Trafford, this was undoubtedly not Casemiro’s best performance while wearing a United shirt. The 31-year-old Brazilian’s game against Everton was missing overall, and he has appeared more and more gaunt this season.

Casemiro gave up the ball to the Blues 17 times at home, and he only completed one of the three long balls, according to Sofascore. He was also dribbled past once, and in overall, he doesn’t appear to be the same player as he was a while ago, when there weren’t many more tough defensive midfielders in the globe.

Although Casemiro’s contract with United expires in the summer of 2026, the team should definitely think about selling him at the end of the current campaign in order to obtain a fee and remove him from the payroll. In addition to possibly hiring a new manager, Sir Jim Ratcliffe will be searching for younger midfield additions, and the Brazil international feels more like a throwback than a prospect.

Although fans will always value his great play during the previous season, there was a good reason why Madrid was prepared to let him go at that point in order to rebuild their midfield around younger players like Jude Bellingham and Aurelien Tchouameni. Now that United has to do the same, Casemiro’s tenure at the team must come to an end.
