Manchester United’s new signing has named Paul Scholes as his favorite legend at Old Trafford following his move from Real Madrid.
Casemiro is strongly expected at Manchester United. Contracted for more than 70 million euros, the Brazilian, five-time champion of the Champions League with Real Madrid, will be in charge of coming to densify the core of the Red Devils and provide them with solidity and stability, which the Mancunians lacked last season and at the beginning of the season.
“The short one (Scholes) was very good”
The former Real Madrid sentinel is not the most striking player that Manchester United have had in their history, but he has always known how to be useful in their different teams. The Brazilian expressed his admiration for Scholes during his first interview with the Mancunian club’s official website.

A statement that is likely to please Red Devils fans immensely. Casemiro is considered one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe, having played a key role in the most successful period of Madrid’s illustrious history. He shares the same tenacity that made Scholes a fan favourite, and he hopes to have a similar impact on a Manchester United side desperate for extra quality in midfield.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag welcomed Casemiro into training for the first time on Wednesday, and he could make his debut against Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium this weekend. The Red Devils signed their first victory in the Premier League against Liverpool last Monday and will want to confirm this weekend.
