Welcome to the club Casemiro! He has simply been one of the best players in his position for a number of years now. We’ve been crying out for a player of his profile for ages and hopefully he will as the strength and stability to our midfield as well as quality!

Nice to see it being now official. I still think it is short-term fix, but one that we REALLY needed. Hope he injects the kind of stability into our midfield that we all hope for.
For me a short term fix is a Cavani, Casemiro should give us 2-3 years of the highest caliber - that goes a pretty long way to restoring our strength.

Hopefully he'll uplift both the games of Fred and our centre backs.
Stop teams just effortlessly carving through the middle

Casemiro, Eriksen... our midfield starting to look good.

Fred should be able to step up a few notches as well, having a fellow jogo bonito player close to him.

Delighted, welcome to the theater of dream casemiro.

We have an all timer on our hands who should in theory go along way in helping us fix some of our greatest deficiencies, transformational.

So now it's £70m in total. Happy to have him as I was with Martinez but we do love getting shafted with the transfer fees.

I didn't see this coming in my widest dreams. Never thought that i have to back the player who i hated the most.

Well this is the best birthday present the club could have given me today!

What a world we live in. Never thought I'd see the day.

This guy is a brilliant player. Always wanted to have him at United just never thought it was possible. An absolute monster of a CDM.
Please sign a RB, a LW and a ST as well.

Don't care about the fee, we need a player in that position and he's amazing.

Europa league or Cup win is a priority this season for me, success attracts further players.

fingers crossed he drags us up to his level, rather than being dragged down to ours, like most of our recent signings.

Epic signing. It's hard to believe an acquisition of this magnitude has come to pass.

The Ronaldo return consumed more global interest, understandably so, but the arrival of Casemiro will make a huge difference in the ability of United to scrape out of the relegation battle.

Well BBC already reporting the fee as £70m. They are reporting the Gibbs-White deal as £25m + add-ons but ours will be reported with add-ons included. :rolleyes:

Absolutely fantastic signing. I don't know how we've managed to convince him so quickly but we have a player who is currently the best in the world in his position in our squad.

he's also an absolute warrior and leader, something we sorely lack. Get the feck in.
