Liverpool star Fabinho has launched an impassioned defence of Manchester United midfielder Fred and has insisted the club should not replace him with new signing Casemiro.
United have splashed out £60million to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid, with the 30-year-old set to be announced ahead of Monday night’s match against Liverpool at Old Trafford. Casemiro is a significant addition for United, who moved after growing frustrated with the chase for Barelona’s Frenkie de Jong.
The five-time Champions League winner will sign a four-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months, and will become the club’s fourth summer signing, after Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia. Fabinho knows Casemiro well and is sure he will be a success for Liverpool’s rivals.
