What Casemiro has told a journalist about his start at Manchester United

Casemiro delighted with how he has settled into life at Manchester United since his summer arrival from Real Madrid.

The Brazilian midfielder had to be patient upon signing for the Reds, having to bide his time to become a regular in the United squad. However, he has since managed to usurp Scott McTominay in the starting line-up and is now undroppable for Erik ten Hag.

ESPN Brazil reporter Natalie Gedra has spoken with the 30-year-old since his switch to Old Trafford and she claims that the midfielder is relishing life in England. Speaking to the UTD Podcast, Gedra said: "I actually spoke to Casemiro after the Chelsea match and he said to me that his adaptation couldn't be better.

"He said that since the start, even if he wasn't playing, the coaching staff was talking to him all the time, talking about the Premier League, talking about the team, making him feel comfortable and the club has been amazing to him, making him feel like a part of all this. He is settling in really well and he feels very comfortable on the pitch.

"I think the language is still something he is probably working on, but he definitely feels comfortable in terms of football and the people around him. He is very happy.

"I was really surprised with how happy he is. There is nothing wrong with Manchester, absolutely nothing, but he was just so delighted.

"He was like: 'You will not believe how happy I am here at Man United' and after so many years in Madrid, to settle in so quickly is quite surprising." Casemiro's first goal for the club came just before his chat with Gedra as his fine header managed to evade Kepa Arrizabalaga and squeeze over the line to secure an important point for the Reds.
