Manchester United midfielder Casemiro named Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Dalot, Fred and Antony as the teammates he is closest to at the club.
The Brazilian was one of six new signings this summer, as Erik ten Hag also brought Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Christian Eriksen, Antony and Martin Dubravka to United before the September 1 deadline.
Casemiro has been slowly introduced to life at the club, only starting his first league match last weekend during United's 2-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park. After a commanding midfield display saw him named man of the match, the former Real Madrid man now looks set for a run of games in the first team.

Settling in to life at a new club can take time, but thankfully for Casemiro there are a number of familiar faces in United's squad. The 30-year-old opened up on how he is settling in, as he named a handful of players he knew before arriving at Old Trafford, and also those he gets on with the best.
He club media : "I had already played with [Raphael] Varane, Fred, Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Antony. Working with them day to day you notice what quality players they are. Really dedicated, humble and hard working. I believe the club is very good in terms of player quality, not just the players, also with the manager. We’re gradually evolving and we’re on a dynamic run of wins, we’re doing well, that is all really important for us.
"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 teammates. 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."
