Carragher says shattered Casemiro looks sad sight as the midfielder hooked at HT

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro made two costly errors during the first half of Sunday's game against Liverpool.

The former Real Madrid star surrendered possession with a loose pass 10 seconds before Dominik Szoboszlai headed Liverpool 1-0 up in the 35th minute.

Casemiro was then tacked by Luis Diaz moments before the Colombian made it 2-0 seven minutes later.

Former United captain Gary Neville and ex-Liverpool skipper Jamie Carragher were part of the Sky Sports punditry team on Sunday and both men commented on Casemiro's mistakes.

Neville said: 'I have to say he's lost his confidence a little bit. For Casemiro, someone who has won Champions Leagues with Real Madrid, it can happen to you in games.

Carragher added: 'He's had such a great career and won everything you can possibly win, and it is a sad sight seeing what he's going through out there.'

Analysing Liverpool's second goal, Neville explained: 'Casemiro just gets shrugged off the ball. Never a foul, he just nicks it away from him.'

Carragher said: 'A poor pass can happen any time, but the second one, getting knocked over, he looks shattered as he's falling over.'

Casemiro did not return to the field after the half-time interval.

He was hooked ahead of the second 45 minutes as manager Erik ten Hag replaced him with 20-year-old Toby Collyer.
