On a sunny Sunday afternoon at Wembley Stadium, all eyes were on Casemiro as he took to the pitch for Manchester United. The 32-year-old midfielder has been the subject of much speculation this summer, with talks of a possible departure from the club. However, according to Ajax manager Erik ten Hag, he may have received a "signal" that he will be staying with the Red Devils.
Although Casemiro had a strong first season with United in 2022/23, the previous campaign was a tough one for him. Injuries and being played out of position at times made it difficult for him to shine. But during pre-season, he has been a regular presence on the field and even started in the Community Shield match against Manchester City.
In that game, Casemiro showed that he still has a lot to offer. Despite the 1-1 draw and City's victory on penalties, the Brazilian put on an impressive performance in the midfield. As the match ended, he congratulated teammate Alejandro Garnacho in a unique way, further showcasing his positive attitude and team spirit.
Ten Hag also had praise for Casemiro after the match, stating that his fitness and skillset make him a valuable asset to the team. When asked about the midfielder's future at Old Trafford, the Dutchman expressed his belief that he will remain with the club. This comes as good news for United, who will surely benefit from Casemiro's contributions in the upcoming season.
Overall, Ten Hag was pleased with his team's performance at Wembley, despite losing out on another trophy. He highlighted their ability to compete with a top team like Manchester City and hopes that this will boost their confidence for the Premier League season.
In an interview with ITV, Ten Hag shared his thoughts on the match and the positives that can be taken from it. He praised the team's defensive efforts and their ability to create chances in the midfield. Looking ahead, he believes that this level of competitiveness can be carried into the league.
As the transfer window deadline approaches, United fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Casemiro is likely to stay with the club. With his skills and experience, he will undoubtedly play an important role in the team's success this season. And as Ten Hag stated, the team's performance against City is a positive sign for what's to come in the Premier League.
