Casemiro was either unavailable, in poor form or played out of position in the 2023/24 campaign with the 32-year-old contributing five goals and three assists in 32 appearances in all competitions.
But there are rumours that he is now unwanted at with the Red Devils looking to offload him amid .
Arsenal icon Gilberto thinks the criticism of Casemiro over the last year has been harsh with everyone pointing the finger at him, blaming him for Man Utd s poor season.
Gilberto said: At Manchester United, we have to analyse the team itself and not players individually like Casemiro.
Manchester United didn’t have a good season until the very end, they had a few good performances but having a bad season like that impacts everyone.

At times I have seen him play out of his position and play as a centre-back. The team itself had to deal a lot with injuries as well which was very tough for the manager, but very tough for the squad as well.
Some players are impacted more than others and I was honestly surprised by how battered Casemiro was by pundits and commentators.
The season before last they loved him and now everyone is pointing the finger at him, blaming him for Manchester United’s season.
They need to just calm down and see the whole picture. You have to look at how United were performing as a team.
