Veteran Man United employee names the club’s “most important signing since Eric Cantona”

An unnamed Manchester United employee has named Casemiro as the club’s most important signing since the legendary Eric Cantona.

Casemiro joined Man Utd from Real Madrid in the summer, and has surpassed expectations by becoming one of Erik ten Hag’s most important players and a real leader who looks to have played a huge part in changing the mentality of this squad.

The Red Devils were linked with a number of midfielders before eventually bringing in Casemiro late on in the summer, and it might have looked at the time like a bit of a panic buy.

Casemiro’s age was also a bit of a risk factor, as he should in theory be someone who is now past his peak, and who has already won all there is to win in the game in a great career with Madrid.
