Jamie Redknapp has named the Manchester United<\/a> star who should have left the club in January.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> offloaded three first-team players during the January transfer window, with Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia all leaving on loan.<\/p>\n

But ex-England midfielder Redknapp was surprised to see Casemiro<\/a> remain at Old Trafford<\/a> after the window closed following his difficult spell in Manchester.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian legend won five Champions League trophies at Real Madrid but has struggled at United and seen his playing time reduced since Ruben Amorim took over in November<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Casemiro was linked with a move to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr last month<\/a>, while ex-United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was said to be interested in bringing him to Fenerbahce<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But the 32-year-old ended up staying put and was even handed a rare started on Sunday as depleted Manchester United took on Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking before the Premier League clash, Redknapp told Sky Sports<\/a>: ‘Last time Casemiro played in the Premier League was against Newcastle and I think he was taken off at half time.<\/p>\n

\u2018He was struggling, him and Christian Eriksen were getting outnumbered. He’s been thrust into that position again.  <\/p>\n

\u2018I thought he might leave Manchester United in the January window – he’s found it hard there. He\u2019s been a great midfielder over the years but the Premier League is tough and it’s fast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Today he’s going to have to make sure he moves his feet well, and doesn’t go lunging into tackles. He’s got to use all of his experience.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Amorim appeared to effectively end Casemiro’s Manchester United career in January<\/a>, admitting he cannot meet the ‘intensity’ required.<\/p>\n

\u2018We understand that Casemiro has other things nowadays,’ the former Sporting Lisbon boss Amorim said.<\/p>\n

\u2018The intelligence he has, understanding the game, understanding where the ball is going to fall but we\u2019re in a league that I can see, even in European competitions, the difference in intensity is big.<\/p>\n

\u2018And so, I feel that this team also needs players with a very high intensity. And sometimes we don\u2019t have that and sometimes that difference in characteristic can lead one player or another to play.<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018Even the fact that the group has a certain characteristic as a group. I needed some players in certain positions with a slightly different pace.<\/p>\n

\u2018But we all know the quality Casemiro has and everything he won. And so, I have nothing to say about that. It\u2019s just a choice.\u2019<\/p>\n

But Casemiro started at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as Amorim was forced to field a hugely weakened team due to a number of absences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rio Ferdinand, the Manchester United legend, said Casemiro should have left in January<\/a> after being repeatedly overlooked by Amorim.<\/p>\n

Discussing Casemiro’s situation, Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel<\/a>: ‘Is the player happy to be on the bench?<\/p>\n

‘I don\u2019t think Casemiro will be happy. At any point in his career he\u2019s never been on the bench. If they get an offer they require, that they want, I don\u2019t think it will be something that will be difficult to happen.<\/p>\n

‘If he wants to go and play football, who are we to stand in his way at this stage of his career.’<\/p>\n
