Bought for €70 million from Real Madrid last August, Casemiro arrived with the aim of helping Manchester United get back to where to they belong. With a Champions League spot virtually secured, the side propping up third spot and a Carabao Cup already under the belt, the Red Devils are back thriving thanks to the Brazilian.
Manager Erik ten Hag is aware of the contribution he has brought this year, and took a moment to congratulate him after the win over Bournemouth.
"We're happy to have found him and what he brings is incredible... When he plays, he brings balance to the midfield, an we've won a lot of games thanks to that midfield. He never ceases to surprise us. He's an excellent footballer. We know he's very good in terms of organisation, anticipation, battles won and teamwork, even when he's got the ball, his distribution of passes and his final touches are incredible", he said.
Against the league's 14th placed side, the ex-Real Madrid man scored his sixth goal with the Red Devils thanks to a specatularly acrobatic goal.
