Since joining Manchester United, Casemiro has had to wait a while for his chance to play.
But now it seems like the Brazilian midfielder has cemented his place in the team.
Manchester United’s season so far
There is always light after darkness and this is true in every United fan case.
Starting the season with two shameful defeats against Brighton and Brentford surely put the team on the back foot.
Coming more of a good pre-season tour, everyone had a lot of expectations.
Although the pundits did not believe in the pre-season as according to them, it defines nothing.
Surely it was proven in the starting game week of the Premier League as Brighton defeated them by 2-0 and the next game week Brentford scored 4 past them
No United fan can forget the shame that game brought but it definitely highlighted the issues within the team.
To cover up the loss, the board stepped up to invest heavily in the team. Although only Antony seemed like a potential signing with no hints of Casemiro.
Eventually, nine days later he was gracing the Old Trafford touchline prior to a remarkable win over Liverpool.
Another 10 days after that Antony’s joined Manchester United from Ajax. Together, both of them cost £155million in transfer fees.
Casemiro’s time period at Manchester United
Having no competition on the right, Antony got the chance in the team and gelled up easily scoring 3 goals.
On the other hand, Casemiro was on the bench because of inform Scott Mctominay.
Eventually, Scott started to fall in his performance and Casemiro finally showed how to play in that position
Watching Casemiro play creates a query of why United did not go with a legit defensive midfielder in past few years.
Matic was the last holder United signed in 2017. Although he also failed to achieve his Chelsea levels.
Casemiro is doing everything that the team lacked in the past few seasons.
From winning balls, and making interceptions to passing the ball forward. He has been nothing sort of a dream signing for the red devils.
Rooney once said that Keane was the best when it came to passing forward and the Brazilian is building the same reputation within the team.
At Goodison Park earlier in October, he assisted Ronaldo to score his 700th career goal.

Not only in attack, his presence was also felt in the defence as the backline feels safer with him in front.
His lying deep also gives freedom to Fred, Bruno, Eriksen to go forward and play their natural game.
