Liverpool Didi Hamann insists Casemiro is a 'great player' but doesn't think the Real Madrid star will lead Manchester United back to the top of English football
United agreed a fee of around £70m including add-ons for the 30-year-old earlier in the week in what has been a difficult transfer window for new boss Erik ten Hag. The club had targeted Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong as their midfield primary target. But they have been able to strike a deal with the Dutchman and have now turned their attention to Casemiro, whose signing has not gone through in time to make his debut in tomorrow's home clash with Liverpool.
Ten Hag's side have lost their opening two Premier League fixtures of the new season after being beaten 2-1 at home by Brighton and Hove Albion and then suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend.
