Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has welcomed Brazilian midfielder Casemiro to the club.

Casemiro joined Manchester United from Real Madrid for a fee of £70 million.

The player has paraded in front of the Old Trafford faithful ahead of United’s win over Liverpool on Monday night.

“He is the cement between the stones,” Ten Hag told Sky Sports. “That is what we were looking for all summer and found him.”

“[I’m] very happy with his signing.”

United director John Murtough added: “Casemiro is a serial winner and one of the best midfielders in world football; his exceptional record speaks for itself.

“He complements the skillsets of the squad and will be a great addition to the dressing room with his experience, knowledge, and character.

“I know that Casemiro remains as determined as ever to be successful on the pitch and we look forward to seeing that happen in a Manchester United shirt.”
