Erik ten Hag discusses what Casemiro will bring to Man Utd
Man Utd manager Erik ten Hag has discussed the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid, stating that the midfielder will bring some much needed winning experience to the club.
The Red Devils announced the signing of Casemiro prior to their shock 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday evening, bringing the Brazilian to the club for a reported fee of £70m inclusive of add-ons.
Speaking after the win over Liverpool to the club's official website, Ten Hag gave his thoughts on the signing.
"He has won so many trophies in his career. He knows the road: how you win games and finally how you win trophies," he said.
"We [now] have more players who have won already many trophies in their career. That has to be a guidance for the rest of the team so they know and they understand how to win games."
