He has received his share of criticism, there was a period when Casemiro got so much plaudging for performances in the United shirt far below what he delivered at Real Madrid, that Mrs. Casemiro posted a picture of the premiership at home in the living room to remind the couch experts who they were actually picking on. In the last season, the wife has not had to come out with support, what Casemiro has delivered in the United shirt has at times been completely on par with the Real level. At Manchester United, the defensive midfielder has also taken care of match-deciding goals.
With fewer than half as many games at Man Utd as at Real, Casemiro stands with 26 goals to 31 goals in a Real shirt. Five of United’s goals have come since Michael Carrick took over in January.

When Manchester United won 2-1 against Brentford at the weekend with Casemiro scoring, tears flowed for the Brazilian as he was praised by his own supporters. After the game, he explained why this emotional moment at Old Trafford.
“I won a lot of trophies with Real Madrid, but in just a few years at Manchester United I’ve felt something different.
“It’s something so deep that it can make a grown man cry. Here I really feel at home,” Casemiro said, according to Spanish AS.
He won five Champions League titles as a Real Madrid player. Nevertheless, the stay in England has made at least as big an impression. We guess this will also make United supporters shed a tear or two when Casemiro leaves the club at the end of the season.
