Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has admitted he was disappointed to see Casemiro depart for Manchester United.
The 24-year-old netted in Sunday’s 2-1 derby win over Atletico Madrid to take his tally up to four for the season. He is becoming a much-hailed player at the Bernabeu after his terrific start to the campaign following his first team breakthrough in 2018.
When the Uruguayan came through the ranks, Casemiro was one of the figureheads to ease him into life within the Los Blancos senior squad. So it was no surprise to hear him declare his wish for the Brazilian to stay in Madrid when asked about Casemiro’s future amid early reports of a United move in August.
