Is Casemiro slightly better for Man Utd than he typically was for Real Madrid? Did EtH get something a little extra out of him because our bald Dutchman is a genius?

I am still not sure if he is that good or just the fact we did not have a decent defensive/central midfielder for years.
Take him out of the team and we are screwed.

You're unsure whether a 5 time CL winning Midfielder is that good?
he's been the best in the world in his position for quite some time and he's continuing to be. You're right if he's out we're screwed as the drop off in quality is enormous.
He was amazing for them. And key
I don't think it's that he's better, I just think that he probably plays a little different for us. He had kroos and modric at Madrid to produce the flashy stuff and didn't show off his passing range as much as he does at United.
He's been a much better all round midfielder for us than I was expecting, rather than a pure CDM.
No he won 5 CL titles and 3 league titles in Madrid. He might look better because our midfield is poor compared to RM.
That's what I was thinking. At RM he often just laid the ball off straight to Kroos and Modric while here he can do more.
His absence is costing Madrid i think, cama and tchouameni are not ready yet.
Look at the trophies he won for them
I'm talking about performances not trophies. At RM he had a somewhat more limited role as Modric and Kroos ran everything. While here for us perhaps he has been able to spread his wings even more.
Man Utd 3:0 Charlton
Makes the game look easy. Wonderful player.
Probably the best midfielder in the world
Under-par I thought but then makes that pass to Rashford. What a player.
Completely bossed it after coming on. Different class really.
Unlike any other gravy.
And the one to Pellistri for the second goal which came after another ridiculous pass in behind to Garnacho. I wish every player was that under par.
I actually thought he looked pissed for the first twenty after coming on. Then he started doing Casemiro things.
And the pass to Pellistri right before that.
Incredible passing. What a Steady Eddie he is 
I can be Casemiro baby
I can take over the game

That fecking on the ground through ball to Pellestri to start the second goal phase is tear inducing for its beauty.
This guy's passing is something.
Those 2 passes to set up both goals were out of this world (even though Rashford looked slightly offside for the 3rd goal?).
Feck of souness. Guy is just class. Makes it look so easy.
How was he under par? He literally transformed the team when he came on. He setup the second goal aswell with tbat ridiculous pass out to pellestri
Christ, his passing is poetry!
If only he were just a bit quicker, he would be unstoppable!

Two good passes that resulted in goals but his passing before that wasnt that good. Fantastic player though
Like Grandpa coming on to play when you're young. You know he was a good player back in the day and he looks so assured but he plays about 3-5 bad passes or just looks meh.
Then he turns it with a couple moments of absolute class and you're like 'fecking Grandpa ruining our game'

What?!
There was nothing “under-par” about that 30 minute performance.
The guy just oozes quality.
Played like he'd been on the piss for the first 20 minutes and then decided is was time to stop fecking around and win the game.
Yeah agreed. But my god this guy is absurd. His passing range is ridiculous. Him and a younger Pogba would have been so fun to watch together with fast wingers on the break.
He’s taking the piss
So interested to see him play for us Vs city
We desperately need a backup DM (just someone who understands the role, doesn't have to be near as good).
If this guy is out of the team at any point, it doesn't bear thinking about

Juicy ball from a juicy man.
Thought he took a while to get with the pace of the game, played some spicy passes though
Man clearly came on to have a bit of a jolly.
Putting passes around with the outside of his boot, charging down the right wing on a counter... just having a lovely time.

I've had to completely reassess his importance in that Madrid midfield three. This guy is just world class.
rather, chart on struggled to adapt to the genius of casemiro and once they did, it was 3-0
His passing is sublime. Best passer we’ve had since Scholes? Or is Carrick ahead?
