Manchester United icon Paul Scholes has confessed that he has been surprised by Casemiro's quality on the ball following his summer switch from Real Madrid.
United struck an agreement that could eventually reach £60million for Casemiro earlier in the summer after abandoning their long-term pursuit of Frenkie de Jong. The Brazilian enforcer, who up until recently had been used sparingly by Erik ten Hag, won multiple Champions League titles with Los Blancos and is one of Europe's most decorated midfielders.
Casemiro was the brawn in Real Madrid's all-star midfield during his trophy-laden stint in Spain. But Scholes has been impressed by how composed the 30-year-old has been on the ball - something that he admits has caught him by surprise.
