Casemiro's three closest Man Utd team-mates revealed as Red Devils veteran takes new signing 'under his wing'

Casemiro is a key figure in Amorim's dressing room and he is playing the role of a senior player perfectly at Old Trafford. According to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian midfielder shares a close bond with compatriot Matheus Cunha, who joined the club from Wolves this summer, and is like an elder brother to another new signing in Diego Leon. He is also on very good terms with Red Devils skipper Fernandes. 

Casemiro had received a lucrative offer to join old Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr this summer, but he opted to stay at United as he felt that playing in the Premier League will give him the best opportunity to represent Brazil at the World Cup next year.

Speaking to Daily Mail, the Brazilian star's agent, Oscar Ribot, said: "He gets along well with all the players, he is very well liked. Casemiro ignores criticism. In fact the only criticism he listens to is that of his own demands. He is a player who is valued very highly by everyone and fans have shown him incredible affection in every game, as well as on the streets of Manchester."

Casemiro will be back in action for United on Sunday as they take on rivals Manchester City in a crucial Premier League clash at Etihad Stadium.
