The 2022 transfer that allowed Casemiro to join Manchester United from Real Madrid remains a significant topic of discussion for both clubs.
The Brazilian star had been a crucial part of Real Madrid’s success, contributing to five Champions League titles and three La Liga trophies during his time with the club.
At the beginning of the 2022/23 season, Casemiro became a target for Manchester United, who were seeking to strengthen their midfield.
His early performances were well-received by United fans, as he made an immediate impact in the team and helped them secure a Champions League qualification spot at the end of the previous season.
However, his recent struggles with injuries and form have led to some questioning the wisdom of the transfer. Former United star Gary Neville has included Casemiro on a list of potential transfer mistakes at Old Trafford, highlighting the challenges the player has faced since joining the club.
“£85m on Antony is an exaggeration, he’s nowhere near that level. £70m on Rasmus Hojlund is a lot of money, £55m for Mason Mount, €80m for Casemiro on a five-year deal is a lot of money. They shouldn’t have signed them”, as per quotes from Diario AS.
Gary Neville’s comments about Manchester United’s transfer decisions are not solely focused on Casemiro, but the veteran midfielder is included on a list of names that have struggled to perform at the club.
