The staggering amount it would cost Man Utd to pay off Casemiro after Crystal Palace disasterclass

Manchester United would have to spend a staggering amount of money to pay off Casemiro.

Manchester United would have to spend a staggering amount of money to pay off Casemiro.

Monday night saw Crystal Palace dismantle a depleted United side 4-0 at Selhurst Park, with the goals coming courtesy of a Michael Olise brace, Jean-Phillipe Mateta thunderbolt, and Tyrick Mitchell tap-in.

Erik ten Hag’s men have now conceded 81 goals in all competitions this season, their most in a single campaign since 1977, while their stuttering form sees them run the risk of missing out on European football altogether next term.

Among United’s worst performers against Palace was Casemiro, who was operating in an unfamiliar centre-back role due to a spate of injuries in the club’s defence.

The Brazilian was at fault for the first and fourth Palace goals, both scored by Olise - first missing a challenge which allowed the winger to score, before conceding the ball to Daniel Munoz in the build-up to the France under-21 international’s second.

After the game, Jamie Carragher said on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football that United should consider paying Casemiro out of his contract and allow him to move on.

Of course, given the length of the 32-year-old’s contract, alongside his enormous wage, that would cost a significant amount.

According to Capology, Casemiro has a base salary of £350,00 per week and has three years left on his United deal. That means the price of paying him out of his contract would be some £54.6million.

Speaking on Monday Night Football Carragher called for Casemiro to be substituted at half-time for his "embarrassing" role in the opener, adding: "Honestly, nothing can be worse than Casemiro playing at centre-half for Manchester United.

"It's sad to see a great player performing like this. We've all been there, but he's only 32 and what he's achieved in the game, he's miles off it."

After the match, Carragher added: "Casemiro should know tonight as an experienced player that he should only have another three games left at the top level - the next two league games and the cup final - then go to the MLS or Saudi.

"I'm deadly serious - his agent, the team of people around him, they have to tell him: this has to stop. We are watching one of the greats of the modern times, playing in the best midfields we have seen who have dominated Europe - him holding, Kroos and Modric alongside him.

"I am nowhere near on what that man has achieved, winning Champions League, playing for Brazil and Real Madrid. But I always remember something when I retired myself, there's a saying I always remember: Leave the football, before the football leaves you. The football has left him at this top level. He has to call it a day and move.

"They should pay him off and do some sort of deal. But that sort of a player, should not be put through this. By Crystal Palace. He's not playing Manchester City or Real Madrid, all due to respect to Crystal Palace. A man of that level should not go what he's going through and has to call it a day."
