Fred has detailed the short conversation he had with Casemiro urging the midfielder to join Manchester United over the summer.
United brought Casemiro across from Real Madrid in a deal worth up to £70million last August, the 30-year-old signing a four-year contract and making an instant impact at Old Trafford, bringing an elite mentality across from Spain that has spread through the squad.
The midfield general joined up with international teammate Fred in Manchester, the pair dovetailing brilliantly for Brazil throughout the past seven years and showing signs of a similar relationship in red. Free of some defensive pressures taken on by Casemiro, the 29-year-old is enjoying more attacking influence during his fifth season in M16.
