Casemiro picks and praises 5 Manchester United players. After winning the first trophy under Erik ten Hag, Casemiro praised his Manchester United colleagues. The club’s success, according to the Brazilian, is primarily due to Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Christian Eriksen, Fred, and Bruno Fernandes.
On February 26, Manchester United defeated Newcastle United to claim the Carabao Cup, ending their six-year trophy drought. Since his debut at Old Trafford last summer, Casemiro, who scored in the championship game, has received the majority of the credit for turning around the team’s fortunes.
The Brazilian, however, is not content to take all the glory for the triumph; he has listed five of his colleagues who also merit the same. On United Review, Casemiro stated: “Every squad has a unique style of play. True, I play a bigger part in the assault here. Here, the build-up play, the manager, the league, and the club are all distinct, as is the style of play. Every club has a unique style of play, and I strive to adapt quickly to whatever is going on.”
Martinez, Varane, Eriksen, Fred, and Fernandes were singled out for special praise by the former Real Madrid player: “It’s impossible to complete on your own, I’ll repeat it again. There is also my peers’ caliber. There are two excellent players: Rafael Varane and Licha (Lisandro Martinez). I spent a lot of time playing with Christian (Eriksen), who is another outstanding talent. Another outstanding player is Fredinho (Fred), and Bruno (Fernandes), who plays a little further forward, is a player of the highest caliber.”
Manchester United acquired Casemiro from Real Madrid in the summer for £70 million. The 31-year-hiring old was questioned by some, but this season, he has been an essential member of the starting Eleven.
The midfielder’s performances thus far have pleased manager Erik ten Hag, who stated earlier this year: “What I enjoy is dynamic football with changes and numerous positional switches, which forces the opposition to consider so that we can capitalize on it. Casemiro is outstanding in front of the defense, assuming consistently wise positions both in and out of position. He can also handle the ball and make the appropriate throw. As a result, he can speed up the game and score if required.”
