Graeme Souness ' glum prediction for how Casemiro would fare at Manchester United has proven to be way wide of the mark.
The Red Devils shelled out £70million to sign the 30-year-old midfielder from Real Madrid in August, prompting Souness to label him a "steady Eddie" and state that the fee was "too much money." The Liverpool legend also claimed that Casemiro wouldn't improve United in possession, but his immense performances this season - particularly in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest - certainly suggest otherwise.
"He is 30 years old and it's £70m. Too much money. It is Manchester United all over again," Souness bemoaned to TalkSPORT shortly after Casemiro arrived at Old Trafford. "Manchester United will pay a premium because it is Manchester United and the Premier League and people know it's awash with money. But I don’t see him making them any better when they have the ball."
