Manchester United icon Paul Scholes didn’t hold back in his criticism of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen after their lackluster display in the Red Devils’ 4-0 Premier League defeat to Crystal Palace on Monday.
Scholes argued that both players seemed out of place at Man United, particularly pointing out Casemiro’s struggles against Michael Olise and questioning Eriksen’s suitability for the physical demands of a club like United. He emphasized the dominance Crystal Palace displayed, with two goals in each half, including contributions from Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
Reflecting on Casemiro’s performance, Scholes remarked on the Brazilian midfielder’s difficulty in coping with the opposition’s pressure, often finding himself on the ground. He also raised concerns about Eriksen’s ability to thrive in United’s midfield, noting a perceived lack of physical presence.

In his assessment, Scholes remarked, “Players like Casemiro have undoubtedly shown their quality over the years, but watching him struggle was tough. And Christian Eriksen, too, seems to lack the physicality required in the midfield battles.”
Ultimately, Scholes concluded that players of this caliber might not be suitable for a club of Manchester United’s stature, given the demanding nature of their performances.
