Videos of Casemiro having the Premier League top six 'for breakfast' proves he'll fit in perfectly

Videos of Casemiro having the Premier League top six 'for breakfast' proves he'll fit in perfectly

Manchester United are close to agreeing a deal for the Brazil international.

Videos of Casemiro dominating members of the Premier League top six have emerged, with a move to Manchester United close.

The Real Madrid midfielder has reportedly agreed personal terms with United ahead of a £60 million transfer.

He's set to sign a four-year contract with the option for a further year and it could prove to be a major coup for Erik ten Hag's side.

Casemiro is regarded as one of the best sweepers in world football and has spent nine years with Real.

In that time, he's won 15 major trophies including five Champions League titles and La Liga three times.

The Brazil international is familiar with Premier League opposition and he performs extraordinarily well against them more often that not.

All those who are worried about him adapting to life in England, don't be. Casemiro will be just fine.

Real won their 14th Champions League title last season and along the way, claimed the scalps of Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool in the final.

Los Blancos snatched victory late on in the second leg, but Casemiro's performance against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the first leg shouldn't be overlooked.

He marshalled Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic well and Real won that game 3-1 thanks to a Karim Benzema hat-trick, a tidbit forgotten about thanks to the carnage of the second leg.

Things got even wilder in Real's semi-final with City.

A 4-3 spectacle at the Etihad Stadium was followed by more late drama in the second leg thanks to Rodrygo's brace in a 3-1 win.

Once again, Casemiro casually went about his business, stifling a deadly attack made up of Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva.

Real were off to the final and they came up against a Liverpool team who were playing the 63rd game available to them in the campaign.

That played into Casemiro's hands perfectly. He managed to be all over Thiago in the middle of the park and Jurgen Klopp's men failed to find their rhythm.

For good measure, the thread throws in Real's 2-1 triumph over United in the UEFA Super Cup in 2017.

The annual clash between the Champions League and Europa League winners didn't disappoint and surprisingly, Casemiro actually opened the scoring.


He really can do it all, can't he?
