Casemiro's admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo may have played a pivotal role in the player's decision to join Manchester United.
United agreed a deal for Casemiro worth £60million that could rise to £70million in total for the 30-year-old Brazilian to join the club this summer. The player has agreed personal terms with the club in what is set to be a significant upgrade to Erik ten Hag's midfield options for this season.
Casemiro will provide a welcome additional level of structure to a midfield that has shown fragility in the defeats to both Brighton and Brentford. The five-times European Cup winner should raise the standards at United if the stories from his former teammates are anything to go by.
