I also thought this was a bit of a panic buy. Felt like Madrid must know he’s on the decline or something to have let him go.
Still get the feeling he’s fragile for some reason and that he’ll decline physically soon, but I’m glad he’s proving me wrong so far.
Seems really likeable too.
No idea what his first name is though

Back on topic, I knew that Casemiro had a clean technique which is how I describe players that make the basics at a good and consistent level but I didn't realize that he could be more adventurous with his passing, it's impressive that a player can switch that mentality on and off. The top spanish midfielders can do that and they are pretty much the only ones.
Nice quotes. Unsurprising when he's being playing for Real Madrid fans for so long, they're generally crap.
Immediate favourite player kind of thing with him. Geezer is world class and a legend to boot (which was confirmed by his gammy celebration when he scored against Chelsea - pure passion)
Truly skipper material, hope he can enjoy a fruitful spell with us. He's got all the mentality and drive to fight his hardest to get us back to winning and challenging for top honors
Great quotes but for some reason this part made me laugh:
MUFC had learnt from contacts at Real Madrid it was not unusual to see him lifting weights as early as 8am at their Valdebebas base.
Purely because it makes it sound like 8am is a ridiculously early time to hit the gym
Casemiro has been a great signing so far though and really seems to have the steel and mentality we have missed for years

PR offensive on the United gym facilities after CR tried to make out the players had to lift cans of beans and old oil drums attached to a piece of wood.
Just make him club captain already.
Madrid most likely has to be very careful with how their wage bill looks on paper with La Liga’s strict guidelines governing the leagues survival. Aurelian may be progressing fast, but I doubt in a perfect world Madrid would have been like “ we need to drop Casemiro”.
I liked his comments pertaining to the PL as a whole. Not every game is at the Bernabaeu.
Really classy inclusion to the league. This one made me jealous, for sure.

Absolutely love this cat.
Madrid wanted to keep him.
It was the player that decided to leave and they agreed to grudgingly honour it due to his service.
Brazil missed his drive tonight. Fabinho is good but is just too soft.
This guy is something else. Best DM in the world by far.
I'd forgotten what it was like having a player like him. Literally every rival fan I speak to who generally love shitting on united and our players have nothing but praise for Casemiro. He's probably the best DM in the world and is something we've been missing for so long, even prime Matic (which we never got, in my opinion) wasn't on his level.
*cameraman expertly avoiding the jacuzzi shot.
Typical steady Eddie assist.
Might be the best midfielder of the tournament so far.
“might”? He’s head and shoulders so far.
Between him and Griezmann IMO.
Can't forget Bruno, who was the best player on the pitch in both games he's played.
He is so good and he is Ours!
2 number tens in fairness. Not counting them as midfielders.
Absolute Don.
He's the reason why I think if England face off against Brazil they haven't got much chance. He'll disrupt England's attacking play enough for Brazil to take advantage of England's defensive weaknesses.
He’s levels above anyone else right now.
He’s just so, so damn good… a bright spot in a not so good day for myself
I'm thinking with this guy we can maybe afford to have two attack minded midfielders a la City. Someone better than Eriksen.
Hope you’re OK
Brazil is also fantastic pressing from the front, which is the real weakness of this England team as currently set up.
Is he our one only truly undisputed world class player?
Very much so.
Good shout. Probably forgot due to injury frequency.
Everybody keeps saying it but I'll repeat - can't believe he plays for United. He's sooooo good!
Imagine a Casemiro, Bellingham and Bruno midfield. Our own version of BBC. With Bruno on form, that midfield is literally perfect.
