Casemiro to Man Utd: Video of midfielder 'having Premier League clubs for breakfast'

Casemiro looks set to join Manchester United from Real Madrid in a deal worth £59.2 million.

United are set to pay the Spanish club an initial £50.7m with a further £8.5m in add-ons. The Brazilian has been offered a four-year contract with the option of a further 12 months at Old Trafford.

The 30-year-old will arrive with a wealth of experience having been at the Bernabeu since 2013.

In that time, he’s won three La Liga titles and five Champions Leagues.

He’s set to be one of the club’s highest earners as Erik ten Hag looks to fix the midfield issues at the club.

But will he suit the Premier League?

But a thread is going viral on Twitter that suggests Casemiro will be just fine thank you very much.

The thread contains a series of videos containing individual highlights of the midfielder against English sides and is captioned: “Casemiro having PL clubs for breakfast.”
