Christian Eriksen, Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Antony, Tyrell Malacia and Martin Dubravka all joined the club, with the latter having since returned to Newcastle from his loan.
The other aforementioned stars have all played key roles in Manchester United’s success this season, but none more so than Casemiro.
The Brazilian is the defensive midfielder Manchester United have been crying out for, with his leadership and winning mentality a key reason why United were able to win their first piece of silverware since 2017 on Sunday.
And now, Fabrizio Romano has revealed the key role Erik ten Hag played in Casemiro’s transfer:
“What a season Casemiro is having! Despite the pursuit of Frenkie de Jong and Adrien Rabiot earlier in the summer, Casemiro has always been on the list for Manchester United, but he wasn’t available in June or July,” Romano said.
“When the situation changed in August, Manchester United decided to proceed and Erik ten Hag was crucial as he spoke directly to the player. It was a difficult signing but an excellent one.
