Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has told former Arsenal and Chelsea winger Willian just how much he is enjoying the Premier League following his move to Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag saw Casemiro arrive at the club this summer as one of six new signings ahead of the September 1 deadline. United spent an initial £60million on the Brazilian that could be set to rise to £70m in total.
The 30-year-old was joined by Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Martin Dubravka and Antony for a combined spend of £225m. Although Ten Hag took his time to introduce Casemiro to first-team football at United, the former Real Madrid man has settled into life at the club very quickly in the two months he has been in Manchester.

Fellow Brazilian Antony has also had to adapt to life in a new country, revealing that he and Casemiro have gone to various restaurants across the city together as they both find their feet in their new home. The pair have been enjoying their short time in England, as shown by their fine performances on the pitch.
It has now been revealed that Casemiro simply could not hide his excitement about playing in the Premier League, as Willian shared details of a glowing review given to him by United's midfielder after his move to Old Trafford.
The Fulham winger told The Times about a phone conversation he had with the United man, saying: “He [Casemiro] called me and said, ‘Man, the Premier League is amazing’. Thiago Silva [the Chelsea defender] keeps telling me, ‘If I had known it was like that, I would have definitely come earlier’. ”
