Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro has hit out at football pundits who “disrespect” him while criticising his performance for the Red Devils this season.
The Brazilian wondered how he, who was touted as one of the best signings last season, suddenly became so bad.
Casemiro made this known recently while talking to Sky Sports, saying while criticism is part of football, the analysts have crossed a line lately.
The former Real Madrid midfielder has not been at the same level he was when he signed for Man United and has been heavily criticized by pundits this season.

Speaking on the attitude of the football analysts, Casemiro said: “You look towards the end of last season, the team was playing well with plenty of positive comments.
“So what happened? I was considered one of the best signings of the Premier League last season, and now I’m not worth anything anymore?
“The criticism is disrespectful. So, when it’s lacking respect, then it’s worrying, and I don’t have to respect that either.
“But there is always going to be criticism in football, especially playing for such a long time, people want to criticise.
“But from the moment when it lacks respect, that’s when you lose my respect.”
