Casemiro has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world. He has won five Champions League trophies with Real Madrid not forgetting the Copa America title in 2019. He was also in the Brazilian squad that played at the 2018 and 2022 World Cup.
At Old Trafford, he has become a fan favourite because of his contributions to Eric ten Hag’s squad which had a poor start to the 2022/2023 season. Many believed a big paycheck was the reason for the move from a Champions League-winning side to underperforming giants.

“Leave it like that, as things are going well.”
