sport news Roy Keane claims he'd play a Man United reserve or YOUTH player over Casemiro ... trends now
Roy Keane blasted Casemiro's central defence role in Manchester United's humiliating 4-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Monday.
He also butted heads with Ian Wright again, after the pair clashed last month in a discussion on Bruno Fernandes, and whether the Red Devils captain is a good influence in the club dressing room.
Keane was particularly scathing of Casemiro's performance during the game, as he was involved in two of Palace's four goals on the night - and also blasted his Man United team-mates for failing to help him out.
On the latest episode of the "Stick to Football podcast, there was intense discussion about Manchester United, with the Irishman arguing that 'Casemiro is the last player you’d want to play at centre-half against Palace', following the recent goalscoring form of Oliver Glasner's side, by scoring five against West Ham, and even twice against Man City - but admitted that the Brazilian defender did have a 'shocker'.
He later added: 'Of all the players at Manchester United, including the reserves and youth team, if there was one player I wouldn’t play at centre-half against Crystal Palace, he’d be the one I wouldn’t play. Aaron Wan-Bissaka or someone else!'

'But if we’re talking about it being a team game, structure-this and structure-that, playing between the lines, that’s all well and good but when you’re up against it, you need your teammates around you. There’s the whole idea of playing in a team.'
The Irishman also noted: 'I looked at Casemiro the other night and he was having a bad time, but he wasn’t getting any help from the other players. If your legs are going a bit, you get people around you [to help], and that’s where he should’ve done better with his experience.
'But defensively, he got no help from anyone whatsoever. Defensively they were all over the place!'
