This experienced Brazilian midfielder, who has just joined Man Utd (Real Madrid) was paraded onto the Old Trafford pitch yesterday to celebrate Erik ten Hag’s first Premier League victory.
United played well, but they were unable to sign Casemiro in time to play the game. Luke Chadwick is eager to see what Casemiro brings to Ten Hag’s team once he starts.
Former Red Devils ace believes Casemiro will be their first choice for the holding midfield position. He praises him as a “specialist” in the front four, something that MUFC has lacked recently.
. “It was a little bit out of nowhere, but it was done quickly which I consider a positive.” Chadwick said that United is in a good place at the moment. He expects they will have to pay more to get their players in.
“What Casemiro does is that he is a specialist in defensive middlefield. McTominay and Fred have both played there. However, they are energetic and eager to get on the pitch to meet people. While Casemiro is a great player and has lots of experience, I believe he will have a big part.
: There are many options when it comes to who plays with him. Fred will be familiar to him from his Brazil experience. Christian Eriksen could also be a good option next to him. Ten Hag has a few options but Casemiro is my first choice for that holding role, protecting four back.
