Casemiro hints he'd have REJECTED Man Utd if transfer offer came at any other time

Casemiro has revealed his move to Manchester United came at just the right time and he'd have been reluctant to make the switch at any other period of his career.

The Brazilian international joined last summer, leaving Real Madrid after the Red Devils forked out £60million as well as £10m in potential add-ons. While some take a while to adjust to the rigorous nature of the Premier League, Casemiro adjusted to life in England with relative ease and quickly established himself as an integral part of Erik ten Hag's system.

At the time of his arrival, many claimed that United had overpaid for Casemiro given his age, but pundits and fans alike have since been forced to eat their words. The Old Trafford faithful can look back and be glad their side made the move for the midfielder when they did, as things could have played out differently in just about any other window, as the man himself has explained.
