'Biggest club in England!' - Bold claim from Casemiro after £70m Man Utd transfer

• Casemiro joined Red Devils from Real Madrid
• The Brazilian is the club's fourth signing this season
• Dream come true for Casemiro to play in Premier League

WHAT HAPPENED? The five-time Champions League-winning midfielder completed a £70 million ($83m) move to the Red Devils from Real Madrid earlier in the transfer window and was unveiled at Old Trafford during the club's Premier League tie against Liverpool.

WHAT HE SAID: Speaking to the club's official website, Casemiro said: "It's the biggest club in England. It's the club with the most amount of titles. So, I'm really happy and just can't wait to get going. The Premier League is a dream to play in. The ground breathes football and I'm delighted to be here."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Manchester United needed major reinforcement in their midfield and in Casemiro they finally got a world-class option. The Red Devils had earlier pursued Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong in the same position.
