The signing of Casemiro for Manchester United has generated controversy in England and voices have appeared questioning the Brazilian’s arrival at Old Trafford. Among those voices are two former players: Cascarino and Rooney.
Tony CascarinoThe former Republic of Ireland and Chelsea player, among others, has been very clear about C’s signingassimilate. “Casemiro reminds me of Schweinsteiger. He’s about to realize he’s a million miles from Real Madrid at United. When United bought Varane, they knew he wouldn’t be the same footballer at Madrid. Some fans are would say we need Casemiro, but United paid a very high price,” he told Talksport. Casacarino didn’t stop there and added that “my problem with Casemiro is that he is Real Madrid’s third best midfielder. But he is a ball catcher and United need someone like that in midfield”.
Rooney, For his part, he also showed his doubt in signing the Casemiro. “It will definitely improve United. He is a good player. I’ve played against him and he’ll bring a bit of character, a hard worker, but is he really what United need? I’m not sure. This goes back to the need to look to the future,” he explained in his column in the Times. “His signing was like out of nowhere, and like a reactive signing. I’d be surprised if he’s a player identified as a priority to bring in when Ten Hag arrives. It looks like United just went for Casemiro to be available.”
