Rio Ferdinand has doubled down on his glowing assessment of Casemiro while highlighting the unique qualities he will continue to bring to the Manchester United team. Casemiro, 30, was signed from Real Madrid this summer and was finally handed his first Premier League start on Sunday night.
It came during a 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park as Casemiro made a telling contribution. After recovering from an early mistake in possession - which led to Alex Iwobi opening the scoring - Casemiro laid on an assist for former Real teammate Cristiano Ronaldo to secure the three points with his 700th club strike.
Speaking about the Brazil international post-match, Ferdinand waxed lyrical in the BT Sport studio and has gone on to pinpoint exactly what Casemiro will offer United moving forward. Casemiro played alongside Christian Eriksen in the engine room with Bruno Fernandes operating in the No.10 position.
