Rio Ferdinand, a former player for Manchester United, described Casemiro as an absolute beast of a player.
Last Friday, Manchester United announced that they and Real Madrid had agreed on a deal for the signing of Casemiro.
The Premier League’s biggest club and Real Madrid came to an agreement for the Brazilian midfielder to transfer to Old Trafford in a £70 million deal.
Ferdinand, speaking on Vibe With Five said, “There’s no doubt in my mind what a player he is, an absolute beast of a player.
“He’s a real player’s player, one you can see with all the messages that have flown in since his decision to leave from his teammates, the respect and the appreciation of him as a player is undoubted.
“I just hope he’s not sucked up by the lack of confidence and negativity that surrounds this football club and this team at the moment, which has happened to many players who have come in and we have expected great things from and have not quite got to the level we have seen from them before.
“I hope he is not a victim of the environment he goes into, and that is the big issue for any players who are coming to a club lacking in confidence like Manchester United are at the moment.”
