Pundit issues ‘huge’ dressing room verdict after what he’s seen from Casemiro at Man United
Alan Hutton has claimed Casemiro will be a “huge influence” in the Man United dressing room.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender said the 30-year-old will help make the other players at United better.
The Brazil international was named on the bench for United’s game against Southampton on Saturday (27 August).
The midfielder was subbed on for the final ten minutes of the match to secure a 1-0 victory over the Saints.
Casemiro was also in the stands as the Red Devils beat Liverpool last week (22 August) to secure their first points of the season.
On 22 August, United confirmed the signing of the defensive midfielder.
Casemiro put pen to paper on a four-year deal at Old Trafford.
As reported by Sky Sports (19 August), the deal is said to be worth around £60million.
Hutton said Casemiro will be important for the mentality and performance of United.
“I think it’s a huge influence,” he told Football Insider.
“You just have to look at what he’s won in his career. He’s coming from arguably one of the biggest teams in the world so he’s going to come in and add that quality right away from day one and I think, if anything, the players that are playing in his position, they’ll be the ones that are motoring on.
“That lifts everybody and that’s what they’ll be looking for. Not just the qualities that he’s bringing and his leadership but to make players round about better, that’s the sign of a world-class player.“
