"I look at United's season, they are in the top four, they won the Carabao Cup and they are in the FA Cup final. I genuinely don't think they would be anywhere near top four or doing what they are doing in those competitions without Casemiro."He makes them 30 per cent better." One surprise omission was Lisandro Martinez who had a brilliant season, despite being dubbed as 'too small' by Carragher whenever he first came to the Premier League. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/1660776425790615553 The Anfield hero did admit that he was wrong however, and cited Martinez as his surprise of the season.

I thought he was smaller than me."But when you are talking about the role of Casemiro, I think there is a massive drop off when Lisandro Martinez is not in the Manchester United team. https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/status/1660780597852139522 "Defensively but also his ability on the ball in terms of playing out from the back. He is a warrior, he is a leader, and when you think of that spine, he and Casemiro have made a big difference.
"So I apologise to Lisandro Martinez. Manchester United fans please stop tweeting me!"
