Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown believes that Casemiro has already become the Reds' new talisman, waxing lyrical about the collection of qualities he has added to the squad.
The 30-year-old, who will miss Sunday's trip to Arsenal through suspension, has been a revelation since sealing his initial £60million move to M16 from Real Madrid last August, playing a key role in helping manager Erik ten Hag transform the club's fortunes. He has become a stalwart figure and has, in many ways, been United's best signing in years.
Although he was primarily added to the squad to give United the defensive nous they were sorely lacking in midfield over recent seasons, his overall game is about so much more. His passing capabilities and ability to dictate games have caught many supporters and pundits by surprise.
