Brazilian star midfielder Casemiro left behind 10 years of success in Real Madrid and stepped into the Premier League.
Manchester United added the 30-year-old football player to their squad with a transfer fee of 70 million euros, while a legendary name of ManU’s arch-rival Liverpool criticized this move.
Liverpool legend and Sky Sports commentator Graeme Souness, in his assessment of Casemiro, argued that Casemiro was not a great player and was lucky to play for Real Madrid.
What did Graeme Souness say about Casemiro?
“Casemiro was playing with great players at Real Madrid, but he’s not a great player. He’s never been a great player, either.”
“I think he was lucky to play for Real Madrid. Benzema and the other players are okay but I was never excited to watch Casemiro”
“I don’t think he has a good passing range. He will help make the Manchester United midfield stronger but I don’t think he will play the other players better”
Graeme Souness also coached Galatasaray for a while during his coaching years. The 69-year-old legend spent the 1995-96 season in the yellow-red team.
