Cаѕeміro’ѕ маn Utd exіt ѕtаnce, рһone cаll to clᴜЬ cһіef аnd teаммаte’ѕ fᴜrіoᴜѕ reаctіon

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has had a difficult start to the season, but the Brazilian maestro played a key role for Erik ten Hag’s side last year.

Casemiro made a big impact in his first season at Manchester United, but the veteran midfielder was unable to emulate his impressive form that campaign.

The Brazil international, 32, is a shadow of the player who quickly established himself as one of United’s most influential players last year in recent weeks and has fallen alarmingly short at the end of Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to Brighton.

A number of pundits, including Old Trafford favorite Rio Ferdinand, have raised concerns about the £70m transfer fee United forked out to bring Casemiro to Manchester 12 months ago, in as others questioned whether the midfielder had the adaptability or desire to play in a central position. significant role in Erik ten Hag’s ambitious rebuilding project.

Casemiro may not have lived up to expectations this season but the former Real Madrid superstar’s criticism was harsh. If there’s anyone who still has a lot of credit left in the bank, it’s Casemiro…

Casemiro’s bold phone call

Given that Casemiro had become accustomed to success during a near-decade-long stint at Real Madrid, it would have been understandable had he shunned interest from Manchester United after watching them get torn apart by Brentford last August.

Instead, the multi-time Champions League winner picked up the phone and told the Manchester United hierarchy that he couldn’t wait to get started at a club in dire need of quality reinforcements.

If anybody had any doubts about Casemiro’s hunger to achieve success with a new team after winning it all in Madrid, they were quickly quashed.

Kroos’ furious reaction after exit

Real Madrid may have happily pocketed the £70m United paid for Casemiro, but their decision to sell their main player was not widely popular.

Toni Kroos plays alongside Casemiro and appears disappointed by the transfer. He said for the first time: “The Premier League has not won an international title this year. TV money in England has been significantly higher for many years but it has yet to materialize. English teams win everything nd. Thank God, all the players are looking not only at salary but also at winning.”

After his inquiry, Kroos made his thoughts clear via Universo Valdano on Spanish television, where he expressed his sadness over Casemiro’s decision to leave the Bernabeu – suggesting the midfielder still has a lot to offer. tribute to the Spanish giant.

Casemiro makes exit stance clear

Casemiro may have flattered to deceive this season, but it is worth remembering that his first season at Old Trafford saw him attract transfer interest from clubs elsewhere.

It was reported back in April that Bayern Munich head coach Thomas Tuchel was keen on exploring a move for Casemiro in the wake of his impressive displays for United.

Casemiro’s camp quickly made it clear, though, that their client had no interest in moving on and was determined to win titles at Old Trafford. That loyalty shouldn’t be downplayed; particularly after a horde of high-profile stars were lured to the Middle East by the riches on offer courtesy of the Saudi Pro league this summer.
