Casemiro, 30, arrived at Old Trafford from Real Madrid this past summer for €70 million.
The Brazilian defensive midfielder took his time breaking into Erik ten Hag’s starting XI but has displaced Scott McTominay in the middle of the park
He has become an integral member of United’s midfield, featuring 22 times, scoring two goals, and providing as many assists.
Casemiro is earning plaudits for his dominance in midfield for the Red Devils, and his compatriot Rivaldo has touched on the early stages of his career at Old Trafford.
He believes the Brazilian showed ambition by deciding to join Ten Hag’s side off the back of a La Liga and Champions League double-winning season with Madrid:
Rivaldo then alluded to the adaptation process that Casemiro underwent upon his arrival:
The Barcelona great lauded Casemiro as a great player and attributed Manchester United’s impressive form to the midfielder’s quality and personality.
The Red Devils are fourth in the Premier League table, trailing league leaders Arsenal by nine points.
Rivaldo added:
Manchester United are set to sign Jack Butland on a six-month loan deal from Crystal Palace
Manchester United are reportedly on the brink of signing Butland from Palace on a six-month loan, per the Daily Mail.
The English goalkeeper has undergone a medical on Thursday (5 January) ahead of his loan move to Old Trafford.
Butland has been at Palace since 2020 and has made 17 appearances for the Seagulls, keeping three clean sheets.
However, he has not featured for Patrick Vieira’s side this season.
The Red Devils are keen to provide backup for current no.1 David de Gea after Martin Dubravka returned to Newcastle United, cutting his loan spell short.
Butland has earned nine international caps for England and has had spells at Birmingham City, Stoke City, and Leeds United.
