Manchester United rope in Carlo Henrique Casemiro from Real Madrid with an expensive deal

The Brazilian defensive midfielder Carlo Casemiro will don the Manchester United jersey as he has been roped in for a whopping 16 million euros. The Reds will now have the midfielder in their squad and the 30-year-old has bid an emotional goodbye to Real Madrid. The club has risked a lot of money to bring him in and the decision might go either way. He might end up being a great player or might fail to deliver.

Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid once compared the trio of Carlo Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to the Bermuda Triangle. Given Casemiro's dribbling weakness, the midfielder was in the comfort zone as and when he defended within his box. Notably, Real Madrid payed a whopping seven million euros to bring him back to the club in 2015.

He played the full game in the finals of that season against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and won the game 1-1 in the shootout. Erik ten Hag expects players to be fast and aggressive. However, the Brazilian lacks pace and might be exposed at Old Trafford right away.

The 30-year-old might have to keep up with the pace and aggression of the game at Old Trafford if he needs to stand out. This might come as the only concern for The Reds. Although Casemiro is considered to be great, he might not fit into the team until he adapts to the ambience of the team.

In his absence, David Alaba might prove to be useful for Real Madrid. Manchester United will have to find a way to fit in the expensive player that they have brought in.

"I lived the most wonderful story I ever thought of. I hope to return someday to where it will always be my home. Not even in a thousand lifetimes I will be able to return to @realmadrid and to Madridismo all that you have given me. Forever... Go Madrid!" Casemiro took it to Instagram to pen down an emotional goodbye to Real Madrid.
