Come on now. He gets regularly selected in one of the best national teams out there. He didn’t work out for us and the relationship turned sour. Let’s not start pretending he’s some pointless player that no coach would be interested in etc
Casemiro | United Player

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.

Kroos and Modric themselves needed Casemiro to be unlocked.
Midfielders complement each other, it's not something made up.
I'm not talking about players complimenting each other. There's this need to say that Pogba needed unlocking, like he was being held back and needed someone else to do the running.
Well he left us on a free and no one was interested except Juventus.
Yeah I'm actually curious. Or does Ten Hag speak Spanish?
More like Stalingrad without winter clothing.
This sounds too good to be true
Right. So I guess you’ll ignore the fact that he starts regularly for the current World Cup holders? Why is the manager selecting him? Is he a fool?
Edit: and ‘except Juventus’. Yeah, I guess he must be a complete waste of space of a player if Juventus are giving him a contract
Ermmm, what ??
I doubt he'll make the first team for the coming world cup and most likely come off the bench in all honesty, but anyway we better save this for the Pogba thread.
This logic is mind blowing. Maybe just maybe, when a quality player goes to a struggling team, he’s taking on the challenge to reinvigorate the team and help them win and avoid being battered.
Well, they'd be really old so yeah. Instead, we could put literally every other squad that he's played with outside of this dysfunctional United system and he'd be fine. Guy has be an integral part of winning trophies at Juve and internationally with France. And now that the moaners got their way and he's gone, the midfield is worse than it has ever been.
I have no idea why I'm not over the moon thrilled about this as a real possibility (because I truly rate him and think he's amazing)...but I'm not over the moon thrilled about this as a real possibility. I have no idea why...maybe I need a muppet runway and this took way too fast.
I know that it’s best that he’s left, but these post suggesting he’s not a top player are hilarious given his achievements and standing in the game.
Edit: and the suggestion he needed a more specialist midfield partner was rife whilst he was winning the World Cup (and scoring and assisting in the finals, if I remember right).
Was just gonna say! If ever a player was given a pass on defensive duties…
It’s because you think the deal will break down. I’m in the same boat. Just don’t think it will actually happen.
Not double!
Just a 95% increase then
Why would it even matter?
If this carries on, with a bit of luck over the next 3 summers we can get Modric, Kroos and Benzema also, complete the collection.
I think you nailed it my friend...
They are right he isn't a top player anymore but he definitely was one at some point, the posts about him being shit though are hilariously dumb.
We have a great sporting project
This will be dandy since Bruno has stopped thinking about anything for about 12 months.
RM will be on the right side of this, they know when it's the right to get rid of players, something we used to be very good at.
So you are giving him a nice retirement package. How thoughtful.
I'm not getting excited about any transfer until I see some fecker signing a bit of paper or a picture of them in the shirt.
The de Jong drama has exhausted my muppetry.
And I'll never have that recipe agaaaaain!

To be able to understand the highly important instructions and motivational words coming from our leader Maguire
I am worried about this. If I can see this, why did it take him 2 games to figure this out?
So you're telling me his positioning is terrible?
Haha. Big difference in position innit.
Because this deal could fall through. And also the Glazers are still around which is the bigger issue.
Unbelievable signing if we get another midfielder. Pointless if we don't.
Will he get a load of yellows or be has he been vaccinated like Fernandinho and Fabinho?
