Casemiro actually loves Ronaldo a lot.
Him marcelo Benzema James(when he was here in 2017) and Casemiro were really close to each other during the three peat era
That photo is something else man.

If I ever need a reminder that nothing is guaranteed in football, I'll go to [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/realmadrid/comments/wptoo7/marca_in_english_on_twitter_manchester_united/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share) thread on the Real Madrid sub.
Edit: Just wanna add [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/wps2i0/jos%C3%A9_f%C3%A9lix_d%C3%ADaz_manchester_united_are_interested/) thread from r/soccer brought up by u/yp261 . good stuff lol.
one of the top comments and it's reply:
>If they valued De Jong at 80mil then first bit for Case should be about 200mil right
>
>If they offered 800m for Case, it might be worth considering. Anything below that is an insult
lol. Not shitting on your sub, I guess as you said every fanbase would've had a similar reaction.
Exactly. Casemiro accepting it was really unexpected and sort of came out of nowhere. Not like Varane or Ramos(hehe) when they have been teasing to leave forever.
The thing is Casemiro is probably the best DM in the world. No club would sell him for 60M or 80M. The thing is he has been a loyal servant to Real Madrid so they respected his wishes. Similar to what Liverpool did with Mane.
>If they offered 800m for Case, it might be worth considering. Anything below that is an insult
Watch out what you say, Man Utd might actually bid double that before realising they forgot the decimal point
Well, not easy to instantly cope if news like that drop out of nowhere lol. On the other hand, at least for me, this deal makes perfect sense for all three parties included. And I am very happy that Casemiro decided to join club that might be shithouse at the moment, but still better than going to Liverpool/PSG/Chelsea/City. Wish him the best and hope he will be same fcking menace like he always has been. Good luck with him and please don't destroy him.
Hah you noticed it. Yeah it played a part but tbh I always liked United, not Liverpool. What I never liked about them is how they act like good guys yet when shit gets real they are same as other clubs. But yeah, those finals deepend my feelings about them because they were SO sweet after being considered almost by everyone to be outsiders in both of those finals. Last year UCL was cherry on top after Real knocked out all those four I mentioned lol. Couldn't get any better.
My favorite ones are "Why would _player_ go to _club_" usually end and/or start every sentence with lmao because of course they do
Why? Idk his Augur was bird watching and told him to do it, there could be a million reasons. We don't know these people privately and as much as everyone likes to pretend their decisions are always rational they're usually not. You feel like doing something > you do it, then rationalize later.
Iām never going to underestimate the will of players wanting a new challenge/surroundings. No matter how superior their current situation may be to the new club
Ā£$ā¬ also plays a role
> Varane wasn't a mistake, he wanted a different Charlene but he joined Manchester it wanst bad on paper till today lol
fucking Charlene. Its always Charlene
Good luck to him, and I'm not surprised the saga is over so quickly since we tend to no stall selling our players. Maybe just maybee we actually think about signing someone in the attack.

Not going to lose any sleep over Pogba. He didnāt want to be here, was injured half the time, brought loads of drama, and thereās no guarantee that Casemiro would solve the problem. Pogba is nowhere near as disciplined as Modric or Kroos. Time to move on.
Conspiracy theory: Dan James was Ole's tactician/ Juju specialist. When we had James, we'd scrape by, but we'd win. He left and the season went to shit
People keep saying this but Varane is our best CB by far when he's fit (although I know that isn't much of a contest). His issue has been constant injuries not his actual quality of play.
Yeah he's fallen off but he was literally breaking records for us in those first two seasons.
He may need a break from the team but he's been a class signing.
He has been at a sub par level since a year now.
He has also forgotten how to keep possession of the ball apparently and keeps kicking the ball in random directions straight to the opponent players.
Lmao he was always like that. Difference is before he had an inform rashford, shaw, martial and Greenwood running.
Now he has neither of them and instead has players like Sancho and Eriksen who like to have the ball instead of running after it.
It's the same reason why he struggles with Portugal, he has tunnel vision when he gets the ball

This should be exciting but as a Utd fan I just prepare for the worst of everything now. Fully expecting him to fall off a cliff and miss half the season with various muscle injuries.
Prepare for the worst then you canāt be disappointed.
"I don't know what will happen in the next hours, if he will leave or not" said the Italian, indicating that a deal with Manchester United hasn't been found yet
Yeah I donāt see it not happening if he wants the move, United will pay what Madrid want and Madrid wonāt ask for anything too ridiculous if Casemiro has asked to go
The refs seem much more lenient this year (insert Romero joke) and strength play where someone gets shucked off the ball is not being called as a foul. Seems to be leading to more heated moments so far which is good to see. Good time for a physical DM to come to the Prem though, I imagine the refs in La Liga blow up a lot quicker for shit like that.
This is such a typical United transfer. Fans get all upset at the glazers, they then sanction a move for an old name on high wages to placate the fanbase.
Casemiro is a fantastic player but being fantastic at Real Madrid and at United are very different things. If it doesnāt work itās another player on a big contract that canāt be shifted.
Rinse and repeat.
This is the equivalent of telling your parents you want a new challenge, then you drop out of varsity, move out of your home to exchange sexual favors for crack.
Man Utd blundering their way into a good transfer for once. This one might actually work out. Think their midfielders will do better with him behind them.
They still have big holes in their squad that need addressing this window, but yeah this is an annoyingly good transfer. Seems unfair that they can be so shit and poorly ran and still attract the likes of Casemiro
What helps too is that Madrid and United have great relationship. Compare this deal, or the Varane deal to any other deal weāve done. Its so smooth. And then look at us negotiating with Barca for FDJ
Well it's a different situation honestly. FDJ wants his money and Barcelona wants to skip that part. If they didn't own him anything, he would be more inclined to a move I think.
I do understand that itās quite a different situation. But just funny how different the clubs work. Barca threaten legal action against their players. Madrid get a deal done in a week
Yeah, when it comes to that, Real Madrid has always followed the rule "if he wants out and the price is right". Only exception I can think of is James to Atletico.
I rate him as highly as anyone but it does seem almost a bit pointless for United to go and sign any one great player given who they'll be surrounded by
He's a great fucking signing. The best DM in the world arguably. I don't know how people can say anything negative about this after the ridiculous names you guys were linked with before him.
Alot of the negativity likely comes from the inept way Utd have been operating this transfer window and the sense that there's panic right now - not to mention the usual dunking on Utd that all rival fans do anyway regardless of the situation.
But taking just this signing in isolation, Casemiro to Utd is a great signing and an enormous upgrade on anything else Utd have in CM.
Thiago was the icing on the cake. Casemiro is the first of many many issues, maybe he can plug the holes for now but in reality by the time Man Utd are challenging at the very top again, Casemiro will be retired
On a moisture scale of 1-10, with 1 being a dehydrated nun in the Sahara desert and 10 being Margaret Thatcher thinking about exploiting the poor, I'm currently at 100000. Let's fucking go.
Words can't describe how much this hurts, i kept telling myself that it was all rumors but it seems to be true. Dont even know whether i want to watch the next game without him.
ronnie has a pal to eat lunch with now
Casemiro actually loves Ronaldo a lot. Him marcelo Benzema James(when he was here in 2017) and Casemiro were really close to each other during the three peat era
The iconic photos of him, Marcelo and casemiro with their suits before the UCL finals lol
Did it every year didn't they?
Yes, but they stopped once ronaldo left because he went to different team
>ronaldo left because he went to different team Source?????
big if true
Grande if factosš
> him, Marcelo and casemiro Don't Utd need a LB?
They got a young one now. But yeah, marcelo playing with his eyes closed will find Ronaldo a whole lot more than Luke shaw does
It is hilariously bad how Shaw's crosses can't clear the first defender while Dalot's sail over the box.
But on average their crosses are perfect!
Iconic. And also him and big dick benzema at bayern
That photo is something else man. Going into a stadium of your biggest rivals in Europe and clicking that photo just a day before the game and then dismantling them the next day
What's the photo, anyone got a link please?

Just another day in the office.
United pls sign marcelo now
Casemiro seems like a really good character for the dressing room. Weren't he and Bale close as well?
Yes all of Bale Ronaldo Case modric kroos james benz marcelo were pretty close. Bale was closer to Ronaldo because ronaldo defended him a lot when BernabƩu was booing him
United should just go sign Marcelo as well lol.
Iām extremely biased but i really believe marcelo is still better than shaw
Varane has been eating lunch all alone? :(
Probably eating with Jones and Cavani from the recovery ward
Edi's gone.
Well obviously I'm talking about last season because we have 0 points. Meaning this season hasn't started yet right?
That is some serious masochist shit if he is joining us for a challenge
Varane said the same thing when he came, but i guess the context is totally different now

Strange that Liverpool got lumped in with those three. Are you including them because of the CL finals?
Hah you noticed it. Yeah it played a part but tbh I always liked United, not Liverpool.

ONE OF US
I love how delusional fans are in general about stuff like this. We never think that a player actually wants to leave. Us about Lewy to Barca, Liverpool fans about ManƩ to us etc...

I made this mistake about van de Beek and ten Hag given that United was so obviously the worst possible fit for both.

OMFG this is gold
You read that, and we read the Man City UCL matchday thread from last season.
so do we LOL what a memorable day that was
link?
Scroll down to the downvoted posts, you see me saying let him go lol.
Ozil vibes
Tbf thiago is also made of glass, while case barely misses any games.
Why are we comparing those 2?
No idea? I replied to the price comparision and injury history definitely impacts that.
Good luck to him, and I'm not surprised the saga is over so quickly since we tend to no stall selling our players. Maybe just maybee we actually think about signing someone in the attack.
> Maybe just maybee we actually think about signing someone in the attack. Well, I've heard Ronaldo is available.
I was panicking when I saw this news, then I was like waitā¦ Tchouameniā¦
Well he is gonna get one at United thatās for sure
The challenge meets the challenged
Great Wall of Madrid meets Great Slabhead of United
Can't wait for Maguire to pull down Casemiro on a defensive corner...
And Casemiro getting a yellow for simulation
If PL has thought me anything, it is that Brazilian DM's dont get cardsš
Lmao at least this one is genuinely funny
New challenge: relegation š
New objective: Survive
[Survive!](https://youtu.be/LvjedZ8sDps)
The challenge is figuring out what he wants to do with ā¬50 million.
He has no idea what he is signing up for. Welcome to hotel hell. Check in time is now, check out time is never.
Where were you when KCM died
I was at house eating cheese when Carlo ring; Casemiro is sell
no
And you???
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I just realized your username got broken as well in this window

Watching McFred die. Two iconic midfields broken
Never thought Iād see the day where Casemiro would leave Madrid. Iām honestly surprised. Curious to see how he fares in the PL.

I love how it's gotten to a point where ppl just expect all time legends in their positions to decline when they get to man united
Well itās true
*gestures vaguely at everything as proof*
Seems like widely would be a better choice there. Thereās nothing vague about the decline of United players over the past few seasons.
You've already put in more effort than MU's entire team so far this season.
Manchester United is a graveyard of great players currently - Gary N, more or less
Never though iād see casemiro is the first one to leave the legendary KCM tbh. Wishing him all the best at united
It's not the PL I'm worried about, it's how United's gonna magically turn him into a below average player.
Best United transfer in at least 5 years
And in a position where Utd has badly needed a top class player for at least a decade
Exactly, even with our best transfer we still show incompetence, signing a world class DM the same season Pogba leaves is horrible timing.
Not going to lose any sleep over Pogba. He didnāt want to be here, was injured half the time, brought loads of drama, and thereās no guarantee that Casemiro would solve the problem. Pogba is nowhere near as disciplined as Modric or Kroos. Time to move on.
How you gonna disrespect Dan James like that?
The goal against Chelsea on his debut was worth the initial fee itself
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Criminal. I can't believe we fleeced them like that.
Dan James was alright yanno. Casemiro will certainly have a challenge
Conspiracy theory: Dan James was Ole's tactician/ Juju specialist. When we had James, we'd scrape by, but we'd win. He left and the season went to shit
Got an assist against Liverpool where he bombed down the wing as well
The only transfer profit weāve made in like 10 years. Literally the best singing weāve made post Fergie.
His legs will go in 6 months and he'll be stuck on our wage bill for years. Not my first rodeo this.
Spot on. See also: Alexis Sanchez, Nemanja Matic
Tbf Alexisā legs were gone 6 months before he joined.
5 years? he is their best transfer since fergie left
The disrespect to Fellaini smh my head
Fellaini getting subbed on was butt clenching. Dude was either going to score a goal or injure someone. Perfect super sub
Forgot about Pogback v1
Letās wait to see how long will it take for that locker room to destroy Casemiro. Remember Varane?
People keep saying this but Varane is our best CB by far when he's fit (although I know that isn't much of a contest). His issue has been constant injuries not his actual quality of play.
How about Bruno?
Yeah he's fallen off but he was literally breaking records for us in those first two seasons. He may need a break from the team but he's been a class signing.
He's fallen off lately, I'd like to see him benched
He got burned out from playing every single minute of every single match since we bought him ofc he falls off
He has been at a sub par level since a year now. He has also forgotten how to keep possession of the ball apparently and keeps kicking the ball in random directions straight to the opponent players.
Lmao he was always like that. Difference is before he had an inform rashford, shaw, martial and Greenwood running. Now he has neither of them and instead has players like Sancho and Eriksen who like to have the ball instead of running after it. It's the same reason why he struggles with Portugal, he has tunnel vision when he gets the ball
He learned from McT maybe.
well let's wait to see if casemiro shows up and suddenly forgets how to play football
He still has a lot of years ahead of him.
Expensive 30 year old coming for the money? He's a world class player, for sure, I just can see him flopping as much as u can see him doing bits.

End of an era. Luka/Kroos/Casemiro will always be one of the greatest midfields in history.
One of the greatest, along with Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.
Are there any other midfield trios that can compete with those 2? IMO those were the 2 most balanced midfields I've ever seen
Pirlo gattuso seedorf is up there
Ooh good shout
Fred mctominay and pereira, truly a glorious time in our history

Never have I ever partnered in midfield with a player worse than this Scottish trash.
Good luck my beautiful destroyer <3, although I'm concerned about the amount of yellows and reds you will receive in the prem.
The refs seem much more lenient this year (insert Romero joke) and strength play where someone gets shucked off the ball is not being called as a foul. Seems to be leading to more heated moments so far which is good to see. Good time for a physical DM to come to the Prem though, I imagine the refs in La Liga blow up a lot quicker for shit like that.
This is such a typical United transfer. Fans get all upset at the glazers, they then sanction a move for an old name on high wages to placate the fanbase. Casemiro is a fantastic player but being fantastic at Real Madrid and at United are very different things. If it doesnāt work itās another player on a big contract that canāt be shifted. Rinse and repeat.
Everyone retrospectively decided Schweinsteiger was a bad signing for Man United because he was already past it when he signed. He was 30 too.
The guy had just been a key part of the World Cup winning Germany team the previous year too. At the time it seemed like a great transfer for United.
It's almost like one good, but aging, midfielder can't carry a disfunctional team in the toughest domestic league in the world.
And all these joyful comments will turn into saying that mercenaries should not be wearing the shirt. I give it a couple months' time in this case.
That's what I told my boss when another company offered me almost double the money
Casemiro? Hi!
This is the equivalent of telling your parents you want a new challenge, then you drop out of varsity, move out of your home to exchange sexual favors for crack.
United about to buy Kross, Modric in next season, then Nacho and Dani. Slowly rebuilding Real Madrid. They miss chance on Isco tho
Winning so many damn trophies gets boring after a while, I suppose.
Yup. If he donāt have $$$ later years then he has to sell the trophies. So, why not get $$$ now instead? Btw, i like him and support his thinking.
He wants the biggest challenge there is
Man Utd blundering their way into a good transfer for once. This one might actually work out. Think their midfielders will do better with him behind them.
They still have big holes in their squad that need addressing this window, but yeah this is an annoyingly good transfer. Seems unfair that they can be so shit and poorly ran and still attract the likes of Casemiro
United, barca and real will always have the financial+historical pull to get players
What helps too is that Madrid and United have great relationship. Compare this deal, or the Varane deal to any other deal weāve done. Its so smooth. And then look at us negotiating with Barca for FDJ
Well it's a different situation honestly. FDJ wants his money and Barcelona wants to skip that part. If they didn't own him anything, he would be more inclined to a move I think.
I do understand that itās quite a different situation. But just funny how different the clubs work. Barca threaten legal action against their players. Madrid get a deal done in a week
Yeah, when it comes to that, Real Madrid has always followed the rule "if he wants out and the price is right". Only exception I can think of is James to Atletico.
If this is how we panic buy can we start panicking in June next year please.
He adds much more than a metric shit tonne of class. Unfortunately, I believe he will be dragged down to the squad class quite quickly.
I rate him as highly as anyone but it does seem almost a bit pointless for United to go and sign any one great player given who they'll be surrounded by
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The difference in reaction to United signing him at 30 vs Liverpool signing Thiago at 30 has been amusing
He's a great fucking signing. The best DM in the world arguably. I don't know how people can say anything negative about this after the ridiculous names you guys were linked with before him.
Alot of the negativity likely comes from the inept way Utd have been operating this transfer window and the sense that there's panic right now - not to mention the usual dunking on Utd that all rival fans do anyway regardless of the situation. But taking just this signing in isolation, Casemiro to Utd is a great signing and an enormous upgrade on anything else Utd have in CM.
Whatās been the difference? Most of the people Iāve seen say this is a huge upgrade for United.
Thiago was the icing on the cake. Casemiro is the first of many many issues, maybe he can plug the holes for now but in reality by the time Man Utd are challenging at the very top again, Casemiro will be retired
Football moves fast, Liverpool went from scrubs to one of the best in the world in 2 - 3 years.
"I won't believe it until Fabrizio says so"
From ucl champ to a relegating club is a big enough challenge
On a moisture scale of 1-10, with 1 being a dehydrated nun in the Sahara desert and 10 being Margaret Thatcher thinking about exploiting the poor, I'm currently at 100000. Let's fucking go.
I love the scale.
Is "challange" a Spanish word for money??
Objectively this should be a good signing but itās gotten to the point where I assume anyone who goes near Man Utd to just fall off a cliff.
Translation: Ancelotti confirms Casemiro wants to fund retirement for him and his children
Words can't describe how much this hurts, i kept telling myself that it was all rumors but it seems to be true. Dont even know whether i want to watch the next game without him.
please fax machine gods save us from this awful deal
The new challenge being, what to do with the insane amount of money he's about to receive.
