Graeme Souness has doubled down on his view that Casemiro is a ‘Steady Eddie’ for Manchester United, saying he still does not believe he is a “great player”.
The midfielder was one of United’s best players this season following his switch from Real Madrid in August. The Brazilian was essential to the club’s top-four finish and League Cup success, the Reds missing his defensive cushion when not available.
Casemiro also had an impact at the other end of the field, netting seven goals and grabbing six assists in 51 appearances. Upon his signing in August, Souness said he was not overly impressed by the 31-year-old, despite his trophy-laden stint in Madrid.
