Manchester United Football Club
With a score of 3-0 against Nottingham Forest, this victory is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for them this season. It is worth mentioning that midfielder Casimiru, who joined from Real Madrid for a 70 million euro transfer fee this summer, contributed a key assist in the game to add to the Red Devils' victory.
Statistics show that since the Brazilian international joined United, the team has won 15, drawn 2 and lost 3 out of 20 official matches, a 75% win rate. The addition of Casimiru clearly proves his worth with the statistics.
In fact, Manchester United originally wanted to bring in Barcelona midfielder Frankie Dijon in the summer transfer market, but ultimately failed to do so. In desperation, they had to bring in 30-year-old Casimiro from Real Madrid for 70 million euros. As Casimiru is not young, and the Brazilian player's past performance in Manchester United is not outstanding, so the outside world is generally skeptical of this transfer.
However, Casimiru did not perform well at the beginning of joining United, but his form gradually picked up as time went by. In particular, he scored a goal in stoppage time against Chelsea in October to help United draw 1-1, which was not easy for the defensive midfielder.
Against Forest, Kasmiru not only delivered an assist, but also had 104 touches, seven match-winning tackles, five scoops, three clearances, three chances created, two interceptions and two shots on target, showing his versatility in both attack and defense.
It's worth noting that the win over Forest was the first time since December 2017 that United had won six consecutive home games in all competitions. Casimiru has started five of those six games and United have kept clean sheets in all five of them, with the Brazilian hard man sweeping through the midfield and leaving the Red Devils' defense without a worry in the world.
