WHAT HAPPENED? Casemiro joined United from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window and has quickly made a few friends. So far, he has developed a close bond with the Brazilian and Portuguese contingent of the team.

WHAT THEY SAID: "I’m closest to Cristiano, Diogo [Dalot], Fred and Antony. I think it’s a relaxed dressing room, everyone works hard and has a lot of respect for the badge, the club and their team-mates," he told United's website. "I think the hard work is the most important thing. Of course, there’s time for work and then time for joking around, I think that’s what most important."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Brazil international is still settling in at Old Trafford so it is no surprise he has bonded with his fellow Portuguese speakers. The 30-year-old has made five Premier League appearances for United, though he has started just one.
