At Manchester United, Casemiro shares a locker room with some of the top players in the Premier League, but he singles out one man in particular.
News, analysis, and exclusives about Manchester United
The Brazilian midfielder, who joined the Premier League powerhouses from Real Madrid last summer, is enjoying his time at Old Trafford.
At the Bernabeu, Casemiro won three La Liga championships and five Champions League trophies. He now claims he wants to add to those accomplishments at Manchester United.
With Casemiro helping to make United title contenders this season, that doesn't seem like an unreasonable goal.
The Red Devils only finished sixth in the Premier League last season, 35 points behind champions Manchester City, but they are currently only five points behind Arsenal.
Three days after eliminating Barcelona from the Europa League, Manchester United's excellent league performance has been matched in cup competitions, earning Erik ten Hag's team a spot in this weekend's EFL Cup final.
Casemiro is anxious to win additional titles before the end of the current campaign and thinks that the arrival of Bruno Fernandes, who he refers to as the "greatest player" at Old Trafford, will benefit United.
I used to watch their games on TV before joining Manchester United... and he was the finest player," Fernandes stated, according to Casemiro.
He is one of the players who assists in midfield and up front during the transition. There, he is our finest player.
Since arriving from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, Portugal's great Fernandes has been one of Manchester United's most important players, tallying 57 goals in 163 games.
Casemiro, who won numerous awards during his successful tenure at Real Madrid, claims he "wants to be known" as a champion at United.
That, the Brazilian remarked, "is the most essential thing." No matter what, we know it's difficult to win championships, especially in the Premier League, where every game is challenging.
But I come here to win championships and significant games. It's not simple. We are aware of that. Especially considering that we're discussing the toughest league in the world. But that's the reputation I want to have.
Moreover, Casemiro discussed the distinctions between the Premier League and La Liga, telling the official Manchester United website: "Oh, honestly, it's different."
In particular, due to the unique circumstances, such as the intensity of the games here. I don't want to undersell La Liga, but the games over here are significantly harder, and there are more transitions.
They typically enjoy tiki-taka football, as it is known there. Here, there are more attacks and transitions.
Each league has unique characteristics. I admire both leagues and am aware that each has distinct qualities. Therefore, it is crucial that players adjust as soon as feasible.
