__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'required' - Rest framework model serializer

This is my code

from rest_framework import serializers
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    username = serializers.Field(source="username", required = False)   
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'username')

It seems so straight forward. What is the issue?

Change it to CharField and add allow_blank=True

username = serializers.CharField(source="username", 
                                 required = False,
                                 allow_blank=True)
