MAN UTD: CASIMIRO WAS HARSHLY CRITICIZED

“I don’t see Casemiro helping Man Utd when they control the ball,” the former Liverpool player concluded.

Former player Graeme Souness believes that United made a mistake when spending a large amount of money to recruit Casemiro this summer.

“Casemiro plays alongside great players but he was never a top player,” Graeme Souness told talkSPORT. “The fact that United spends up to 60-70 million pounds for a 30-year-old player is too much.”

According to Athletic, Raphael Varane played a key role in Casemiro’s decision to join United. The French midfielder regularly contacted Casemiro and persuaded his former team-mate to dock at Old Trafford.

The presence of Casemiro promises to improve the midline defense of the “Red Devils”. After the first two seasons, coach Erik ten Hag’s team all received defeats. On August 23, United will have a match against Liverpool in the third round of the Premier League.

Earlier, former defender Rio Ferdinand said: “It is true that Casemiro is priced too high, but he is a champion.” Ferdinand emphasized that Casemiro’s personality is what United needs more than anything else at the moment.

Real Madrid does not want to keep Casemiro

Real Madrid is not drastic in keeping Casemiro when they own Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni, two of the most promising midfielders in European football.

In the first round of La Liga, Casemiro sat on the bench and Tchouameni played for the official squad. The young midfielder stands out with a 96% pass accuracy rate and many strong ball challenges. Until the victory against Celta Vigo 4-1 on August 21, Real continued to maintain its form – playing well without Casemiro.

Casemiro becomes Man Utd’s fourth rookie this summer after Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, and Lisandro Martinez. According to the Times, United is expected to bring in four more recruits including a striker, a midfielder, a right-back, and a reserve goalkeeper for David de Gea.

Casemiro joined Real for only 6 million euros from Sao Paulo in 2013. The sale of the midfielder brought the Royal Spanish team a huge profit.
