Gary Lineker tells Manchester United what Casemiro will provide this season
01.09.2022 - 16:37 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
While he has reservations over the price Manchester United paid for the midfielder, Gary Lineker believes that Casemiro will adapt quickly to life in the Premier League.
United finally resolved their long-standing defensive midfield problem when they abandoned their lengthy pursuit of Frenkie de Jong by turning to Casemiro instead. The club paid an initial £60million for the former Real Madrid favourite, who made his debut as a late substitute in the weekend's win at Southampton.
United have come in for some criticism for spending so heavily on an ageing player but Lineker thinks that advancement in player fitness means Casemiro could have many more years at the top. As a result, the Brazilian should be able to get used to English football, even if it takes a bit of time.

"It’s a strange one, spending £60million on a 30-year-old holding midfield player," Lineker told Cure Leukaemia. "But he is a very, very good midfield holding player and he is very successful.
"I kind of get it in the sense of a quick-fix because he’s better in the position that they’ve got by a mile, so I get that. But have they paid ridiculous money? Yes. It’s an interesting one, he’s not going to go in there and create a million chances for everyone that’s not his game alone.
"He’s a proven winner, he’s a rock so you know what you’re getting even though he hasn’t played in our league and he’s a little bit different. He’ll adjust, it’ll just take time. Players are playing a little bit longer know — I don’t know what they’re doing — so that’ll be interesting. So 30 years old is probably 28 of 10 years ago."
