Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal players miss out as Man Utd star named 'best in the Premier League'

Former Premier League star Ramires has given his verdict on the current cream of the crop.

Manchester United star Casemiro has been declared as the best Brazilian in the Premier League by Chelsea hero Ramires.

Casemiro is currently at the World Cup in Qatar with Selecao, playing a vital role in their progression to the quarter-finals.

Brazil take on Croatia at 3pm UK time today, with Casemiro hoping to go on to represent his nation in a World Cup semi-final for the first time in his career.

The 30-year-old scored an incredible volley from distance during the 1-0 group stage win over Switzerland, although it did take a slight deflection which took it away from Swiss stopper Yann Sommer.

He was then rested for the final group stage match against Cameroon - which Brazil lost 2-1 in his absence - but has played every other minute in the tournament.

And at club level, he has boosted the United midfield since arriving at the club in the summer from Real Madrid.

Boss Erik ten Hag described his big-money signing as 'the cement' - the player that holds together the Red Devils midfield, breaks up play and starts attacks with his extensive passing range.

And his performances at club and international level have now received huge praise from Ramires.

Ramires praises Casemiro

The former Brazil international, who won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2012, was asked to pick the top-performing Brazilian in the Premier League right now.

Among his options included Liverpool pair Alisson and Fabinho, Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus and Casemiro's team-mate, Antony.

But the 35-year-old, who ended his playing career at Palmeiras in 2020, opted for another of his fellow midfielders instead.

Speaking to Ladbrokes (quotes via Daily Express), he explained: "I have so many Brazilian friends still playing in the Premier League, so it's very hard to pick a standout players. There are a lot of young boys coming through who are right up there for me.

"A lot of players are so important for their teams but maybe play a different role for the national team. The likes of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Antony have been incredible so far this season.

"I feel like my back is literally against a wall when I'm being asked to pick a standout player, because there are so many talented Brazilians in England right now.

"But, for me, one player who has made the most impact is Casemiro. He is solid, and he's a great addition, not only to Manchester United, but to the Premier League as well."
