Why Casemiro is the real reason for Man Utd's title push

[@Kela1031]

As a Real Madrid fan for over 20 years, I'm happy to see how people can realize just how good Casemiro is. I was gutted when he was sold to Man Utd, but luckily Tchouameni is brilliant, so it's a win/win for both clubs really.

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

That's the best thing. Great business. Both teams are happy and it's lovely to see. Especially after Graham Sounness labelled him a steady Eddy.

The one actual mistake he made (he gave up the ball and conceded a goal in one game) he then made and absolutely gorgeous assist to Cristiano Ronaldo (who wasn't having a good year at all) but because of the perfect weight of the pass was a pretty easy finish.

He literally is a tanker in Madrid's midfield, always passionate, and does whatever Zizou or Carlo ask him to do, never involved in any controversy or scandal, he defended Real Madrid badge all the way through, always has the discipline and keep on working hard, that's why Madridista deeply loves him.

Casemiro just keeps it simple and is intelligent. It’s what we’ve lacked since Carrick. For years watching Pogba take too many touches, it’s so nice to see a midfielder play the simple game. That assist against Forest simply wouldn’t have happened if it were Pogba. Granted, they’re totally different players, but Casemiro is everything we’ve lacked for years. Eriksen next to him is another who has an excellent passing range and decision making. The upgrade from McTominay and Fred is ridiculous.

@@shaxxs The mega-star shirt-signing is what the board has been about until recently. As for promising youngsters, I agree that they should do that. Recently our scouts recommended Moises Caicedo but the board refused to cough up the circa 4 million pounds he only cost Brighton. Antonio Valencia recommended him as well as they are compatriots. Now if any club wants him, they'll have to pay around 70 million pounds for him.

Title push is a bit excessive 😂 we are progressing, which feels good but we still have a long way to go to challenge for the title Let’s at least secure top 4, guarantee champions league and use that to get better prospects next summer!

[@cybermanne]

Casemiro has been such a revelation. We have missed having this type of complete footballer in the midfield for so long. Matic was ok. But Casemiro is just streets ahead. I don't think we've really had anyone that can play this DM role on such a high level since Carrick retired nearly a decade ago.

[@gauravmufc1]

When he came in for the first 2 games he was failing to pass forward after winning possession from opposition and thus conceded position quickly leading to counters which he immediately fixed and understood the mentality of the team he has been a game changer for united and I am looking forward for them to win a trophy this year based on the strong defense and midfield.

[@mg_phopla]

Great to see a Real Madrid legend shine. It was sad to lose him, but with Tchouameni on our side, it's a win-win for both sides.

[@civildiscourse7626]

I actually think it’s an insult when people call him the best defensive midfielder in the world… I actually think he’s the best midfielder of any type- at united I’ve been surprised at how good he is offensively.

[@efiraiim]

prem fans finally realizing casemiro is class, i prayed for times like this

[@gustavodeharo]

Life of a Real Madrid player: 1. Be one of the hottest up and coming young talents and have all major clubs fight for your signature. 2. Sign for Madrid even though you would have been paid more at PSG or City. 3. Get called overrated while you're winning multiple UCLs. 4. Leave Madrid because there's nothing new left to win and you want a challenge. 5. NOW you get called one of the best in the world.

[@ankitrawat4736]

He puts some excellent crosses into the box as well and switches the play very well.

[@leodb3894]

Has been one of the 3 best midfielders in the world for over half a decade, and probably has another 2 seasons at a similar level in him. With Ten Hag’s tactical know-how he’ll be useful beyond that too. Just hope he stays fit. He also looks like he really relishes the game, constantly motivated machine.

[@karl343]

I still can't get over Sourness saying Casemiro was a steady Eddie, shows how out of touch he is with modern football. Casemiro has been world class for years.

[@Ayo.Ajisafe]

I wonder if he's changed his tune.

[@aviraltripathi9232]

He has been good forever and finally the English have noticed him as he has performed well against the mighty Wolves Everton and Forrest

[@alancawfield6549]

Casemiro is brilliant at slowing up other teams attacks without doing anything spectacular just little half blocks and interceptions or movements to cover space.

[@ThereAre2TypesOfPeople]

Guy's been a revelation since he joined. Not just a 'destroyer', he's got some range of passing and he's scored important goals. Rolls Royce of a player.

[@michaelpirie9515]

Absolutely stuck that landing with the outro. Fair play 👏🏻👏🏻

[@sutejasastra]

Casemiro is the key Madrid winning trophies. Glad he finnaly found his form in Man Utd, and great video!

[@anandmahamuni5442]

We are not in the title race

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Yes you are. That's what the media is saying.

[@sususegar]

8:43 i rewatched this moment of the game and found that Casemiro made a really crisp low driven pass to switch play from right to left, just moments before Forest attempted to counter attack.

[@claywandera2486]

The notion of goals and assists as the basis of how good a player is is clearly shown here that it maybe a skewed view of the game. Players that enable others play well or that enable the team win deserve a lot more credit. Casemiro has done it so often that I think an award should be developed for that purpose. He did it at Madrid only for a fellow out of touch with a game to call him a "steady eddy". I don't know if he has the same thoughts about busquets. But these kinds of players are rare and I hope that role is now called the casemiro role like that named after makelele

[@philippegaeng7249]

You forgot to add that he scores big goals as well. The best single signing a team can make to fix a midfield. He brings passion, balance, ferocity and technique

[@qarahiyo]

him scoring highlights united still has a lot weakness

[@WhyBooks]

Y'all need a feature to select all players (except GK) so that you can show teams dropping off or pressing without having to move every single player! Great content, keep it coming!

[@ArmadilloManiac]

I just discovered this channel. LOVED the analysis and explaining of what Casemiro does. Really good. Subbed.

[@Farry94]

I absolutely adore his tackles and ball retention.

[@neil1982]

The way he plays is very simple and these simple players have so much impact on the games it's often hard to understand. Man Utd fans do not know how lucky they are to have him.

[@justbenny9067]

I'm so incredibly happy that Cas has improved the team so much. Him anchoring the team, Rashy on top form and now having Varane and Lisandro back. We might actually get champions league football if this continues

[@shaxxs]

As a Madridista, hopefully you guys could build up the pairing of veteran and youngster to be a cohesive team. That's how Madrid does it especially in recent years, fortunately we got Tchouameni after Case's departure, watching him play really reminded me of how Casemiro does it everytime when he's playing for us

[@usengebruno5066]

Each day after watching a video o both Tifos, I tend to subscribe again, you do best content which touches my curiosity in general and especially when it comes to Man United. World cup was superb 💯💯 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@AleABest]

Casemiro, such a good player. Tough and brilliant, reminds me so much of Scholes.

[@FlashMeterRed]

Great to see Manchester united finally get the attention they deserve on this channel. Most people have never heard of them.

[@The_Judge300]

I think Casemiro is the best DM in the Premier League at the moment. He has so extreme control of what he does. Making it extremely difficult for the other teams to attack and making the job extremely more easy for the center backs and the keeper. And he is extremely good at starting the attack once he wins the ball.

[@chomby3]

LOVE the in game pictures on these videos, hope some day you get the rights to do them with actuall footage.

[@billgee187]

Thank you for a much anticipated Casemiro analysis ❤️

[@l555mat8]

Casemiro has been superb this season. But let’s not forget Eriksen also.

[@mahdiahmed2122]

We've needed a CDM for years now, in my opinion, the lack of one was the reason Ole saw no silverware. But now we've got one and got the best going at that we're very much back on track to get all the major accolades and hopefully, we'll see some silverware this season, in the form of the title maybe 👀

[@DR650-x2j]

Simply a word class player .

[@humorme2432]

As a utd fan,we are not used to this quality of Midfield. From Mcfred to Casseimro -Eriksen and a rocksolid licha varane( instead of maguire -lindelof) is a treat to eye!

[@StuttGooner]

Casemiro and Busquets been the best CDMs in the last decade, not surprised at all, if it's already enough for a title push for United, not sure yet. They should go all out to put Kane up top as they would have done in the Fergie days and get another CM+CB, just so they can rotate Eriksen and Varane.

[@AlveoliD]

It’s a bit soon to be thinking about titles, only way we get involved is if teams around us fumble - the next 5 fixtures or so will tell us where United are at competitively this season. Like most I’d be happy with top 4 though for sure this season we have enough to get that. Cas is class

[@jonathanbolger6173]

Great signing. The biggest thing I took away from this was his bravery in possession, he's played with some of the best playmakers in the game, they would have encouraged this, he would have tried to come up to their level cause that's what great players do. He's used to winning and he knows what it takes to do so, bravery and drive to do the right things. Who would have thought a world class CDM would help. It's not like United have been saying for years or anything 🙄. We also need to start looking for his understudy right now, if he gets a knock and is out for a few weeks, we would end up with one of McFred again. We need another high potential CDM to come in now and learn from him.

[@CarlinConnolly]

yeah it's shame that Jimmy Garner left

[@kickdowndoors]

@@CarlinConnolly he was never going to be good enough to start for a title challenging team imo

[@knighthawk6189]

been watching United since 2006, Casemiro is the best midfielder i've seen play for us.

[@m1cycle71]

Casemiro is such a lovely footballer, so happy we've signed him

[@arrowzen7433]

He is great - It is the combo w Eriksen though that has made the difference. Even before Casemiro arrived and got up to speed Eriksen had already changed the quality of the midfield dramatically…

[@64Ahmed]

I've always said it and thank god he came to my club, CASEMIRO IS THE BEST CDM OF THE GENERATION

[@jyotiprakashpanda4717]

Someone call an ambulance for Graeme Sounness.

[@joelroman5593]

Title push??? we are in a top 4 push yes but the title??? I didn't expect a clickbait video from tifo

[@Wladislav]

The continuous surprise from EPL fanatics that Casemiro is in fact an amazing player is so strange. But I guess that happens when you only look at 1 league, look down on every other league, and somehow also ignore the CL, and international competition. Consistent world-class DM. Has won it all. A rock on which to build for any team he's in. Heck, I even had him in my world cup TotT, despite strong competition. Not old either, pretty much in his prime at 30 years old.

[@zikriwaie109]

I have simulated using different types of football simulator and games, I find out that Victor Lindeloff plays extremely well in the Central Midfield position, a very solid player and well rounded. If say Casemiro is unavailable, let Lindeloff take the chance to prove his worth in the said position.

[@bbudimanalqodri]

And he has teamwork personality... He is a leader but also a fun team mates.
