Manchester United signed midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid in the summer
Manchester United played a masterstroke during the summer transfer window when they bought Casemiro from Real Madrid.
The Brazilian has proved to be a crucial player for the Red Devils since his summer arrival. He has made 37 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side, scoring five goals and providing six assists.
Casemiro, however, was criticized for his performance as the Red Devils were smashed by a scoreline of 7-0 at the hands of Liverpool. Speaking about Casemiro, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said (via Sky Sports):
"It really stood out for me yesterday because I think he's been one of the best players in the Premier League this season, He has completely turned United's season around, but he was very, very poor yesterday... Early on, I could see he was just not at the races. He actually gave away with five of his first six passes."
This is so heartwarming 🥰
Wait for Casemiro!
