Graeme Souness doubles down on claim Manchester United star is NOT world class

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has doubled down on his claim that Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is not world class.

Souness claimed in January that Casemiro is a ‘Steady Eddie’ and not a world-class player.

In a live TikTok video at Anfield before Liverpool hosted Man United on Sunday, Gary Neville asked Souness to explain his opinion again. 

“Can we have an apology?” began Neville. “Your call on Casemiro, are you changing your mind on it?”

“What did I call him?” asked Souness in response.

“You said he was a good player but not a a great player,” Neville insisted.

“No. I say he’s a Steady Eddie,” Souness replied.

“Oh, he’s more than a steady Eddie though,” said Neville as he tried to fight the Brazilian’s case.

“In that position, you’ll get it, I’d be happy to be described as a Steady Eddie in that position,” Souness replied.

“But he’s more than a Steady Eddie. He even surprises me,” Neville’s latest response.

Jamie Carragher then butted in to defend Souness, saying of Neville: “This is the fella that said Messi was gone at the World Cup and then he went and won it.”

“Lisandro Martinez over there!” Neville replied in regards to Carragher’s previous comments downplaying the quality of the United defender.

Souness then continued: “I would describe Casemiro as a foundation piece, you can build your team on that. I like him. There’s nothing to dislike about him.”

“Is he better than you thought he was?” Neville asked.

“No,” reaffirmed Souness.

“He’s better than I thought,” Neville finished.
