Casemiro is 30 years old and will earn approximately £ 200,000 per week on a five-year contract the Brazilian’s £60 million transfer to the Red Devils with the help of Raphael Varane in August caused some controversy. The club spent the whole summer acquiring Barcelona star, Frenkie de Jong. The Casemiro deal took many fans by surprise. The move was somewhat unexpected. However, they had already reached out to Casemiro to see if he would be interested in moving to the Theatre of Dreams. United’s interest was greater than just a sense of desperation following two losses in their first two league games.
However, there was still confusion regarding the Brazilian’s motivation for joining the team. He was still an important member of Carlo Ancelotti’s team despite having won five Champions League titles in the Spanish city. On the other hand, Manchester United in comparison has gone five years without a trophy.
The Spanish connection between Casemiro and Varane
Varane has played with Casemiro at the Bernabeu for seven years. They know each other very well. Varane praised Casemiro’s moral qualities and leadership abilities a lot of times in his interview. There is a lot of mutual respect between the two. Casemiro was clear that he is not coming for the money. He just wanted an exciting challenge in the premier league. The Brazilian has proven to be one of United’s most valuable purchases in recent times.
United was reportedly working on landing the Brazilians in the background away from the prying eyes of the media. Many questioned why a player who had just won the Champions League with Real Madrid would join a team that hadn’t won anything in the last five years and are playing in the Europa League.
The Brazilian has fitted in very well into the team. He has been in top form performing in all the departments of the game. United are now looking for silverware this year to make the right use of its current form.
