Cristiano Ronaldo was reportedly the strongest player in Manchester United’s gym during the previous season when he was able to perform leg presses with a weight of 250 kilograms and 30 repetitions in each round, as reported by the Daily Mail.
However, Casemiro walked in and stunned his colleagues at Carrington by pushing with a weight of 300 kilograms (kg) with ease. The number of reps the 1992 quarterback accomplished was on par with CR7’s performance.
Casemiro has now been familiar with the Premier League after having spent some time getting to know it. In the 4-2-3-1 formation, former Real Madrid midfielder Christian Eriksen is the two-player that coach Erik ten Hag prioritizes to play in the middle of the field.
This season, Manchester United have not suffered a defeat in any of the eight matches in which Casemiro has started for the club (6 victories, 2 draws). The Brazilian superstar is impressive thanks to his abilities to compete, pass, and shoot from a significant distance. Casemiro was another standout performer in the encounter against Chelsea. He scored the game-winning goal in the 90+4 minute, which allowed the home team to earn a point at Stamford Bridge.
Even after the game against West Ham, coach Erik ten Hag continued to sing the student’s praises, saying, “Casemiro is really excellent.” Casemiro is 30 years old. Because of this, he has been victorious five times in the Champions League. This is made abundantly clear in each and every game. I have faith that Casemiro will perform much more effectively.”
The upcoming week will be a busy one for Casemiro and his colleagues, as they will have four matches in only nine days. In the near future, Manchester United has the objective of defeating Real Sociedad by a margin of two goals or more away from home in order to claim first place in the Europa League and avoid the possibility of having to compete in the play-off round against a team that failed to advance from the Champions League group stage.
