Peter Schmeichel fears Manchester United should have pursued a player with a proven track record in the Premier League rather than sign Casemiro from Real Madrid.
The Red Devils have agreed a £60million deal to sign the Brazilian midfielder and they are willing to pay him an eye-watering £375,000 per week. Casemiro won an astonishing five Champions League titles during his time with Los Blancos and is widely-regarded as one of the finest defensive midfielders of his generation.
However, there are concerns about whether it is a wise move to hand a player of his age such a lucrative four-year contract. Schmeichel confesses he is "surprised" by United's pursuit of the Sao Paulo academy graduate given they "don't know if he can do the job" in England's top flight.
