Casemiro joined Manchester United from Real Madrid last summer and has been a good signing.
The Brazilian is the defensive midfielder Manchester United have been crying out for, with his leadership and winning mentality a key reason why United were able to win their first piece of silverware since 2017 earlier this year.
Granted, his disciplinary record has been an issue whilst in England and after returning from his most recent suspension, Casemiro has not been at his best.
He looked much sharper in Man United’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.
And speaking after the match Erik ten Hag accepted a loss of form is likely to affect every player during the course of a season and praised the leadership Casemiro can bring to the side when he is at his best:
“I think that in every season you see nobody is always playing brilliant, he played such a high level, some games with suspension his rhythm is broken and he had to get back,” said Ten Hag.
