Raphael Varane was full of praise for Manchester United signing Casemiro
Speaking in an interview after Manchester United’s sensational win against Liverpool as quoted by Manchester Evening News, Manchester United centre-back Raphael Varane was full of praise for former Real Madrid teammate Casemiro ahead of linking up with him at Old Trafford.
Manchester United recently signed Real Madrid legend Casemiro for a £70 million deal a few days ago. The Brazilian is expected to be their answer to the lack of defensive midfield options and he is set to become a key player for Ten Hag.
Casemiro needs no introduction. A serial winner with Real Madrid, the Brazilian has won the Champions League five times with Los Blancos. He is a very decorated player who comes to Old Trafford with a lot of pedigree.
The Brazilian has been a part of one of the most deadly midfield partnerships that world football has seen in recent years. Casemiro formed a very deadly partnership with Luka Modric and Toni Kroos with the trio winning so many accolades together.
Casemiro and Varane themselves have had great memories of playing together. The duo have won numerous trophies together. They have the experience of playing together and will be hoping to continue the chemistry at Old Trafford.
Speaking about the arrival of his former teammate, Varane could not hide his joy and had glowing praise for the Brazilian
“I know perfectly his quality. He can bring this balance to the team and his mentality. He’s a warrior, so I think he will really enjoy English football. I know him (laughs).”
“I think it was a perfect night for him to meet Old Trafford because the atmosphere was absolutely amazing, and he brings a victory so it’s nice!
After weeks and weeks of hunting for a midfielder, Manchester United have finally settled on Casemiro. The former Real Madrid man can be a key player for Erik ten Hag and he can be the leader in the Man United midfield.
Man United managed to beat arch-rivals Liverpool 2-1 and will be riding high on confidence. Adding Casemiro to the mix is only going to make the Red Devils more formidable and it is only a good sign of things to come.
