“You are improving players” – Gary Neville hails Man United £350k par week midfielder
According to former Manchester United defender Gary Neville, Brazilian star Casemiro is helping the team’s players at Old Trafford.
On Sunday, Casemiro contributed significantly to Manchester United’s 1-0 victory over West Ham United.
The midfielder who left Real Madrid to join Manchester United last summer has had a big influence at Old Trafford.
Neville pointed out that Casemiro’s strong play at Real Madrid helped the Brazilian win five Champions League championships.
The former Manchester United defender remarked on Sky Sports that Casemiro was developing players.
“None of Eriksen, Casemiro, or Fernandes are agile or what you would describe as genuine defensive midfielders, but you think of that midfield three he played in at Madrid with Kroos and Modric,” said the commentator.
“Then compare him to Eriksen and Fernandes; although Modric and Kroos are much better players, there are stylistic parallels to what we are witnessing here.
There is a resemblance between what Casemiro is witnessing now and what he saw at Real Madrid, despite the fact that “those three ruled Europe for many years, playing in the biggest games and controlling them.
“The smoothness and silkiness that improves United’s platform. When it came to the important games, City suffered a little bit away from home, but two weeks after the season restarted, City came here. It would be interesting to see if Ten Hag sticks with those three. The true test will be there.
