There seems to be a growing camaraderie between Manchester United’s goalkeeper David de Gea and Brazilian midfielder Casemiro, with some playful pranks happening in the dressing room.
De Gea recently shared on social media that he has a fondness for Casemiro, who jokingly called him a “d*******”.
Erik ten Hag’s debut season at Old Trafford has been remarkable, with both David De Gea and Casemiro playing key roles in the team’s success.
De Gea’s impressive performances as a goalkeeper and Casemiro’s contribution in the midfield have not gone unnoticed.
The two players seem to have a good relationship, as evidenced by a message from Casemiro that De Gea shared on Instagram.
Rashford, who is currently the team’s leading scorer, has also expressed admiration for Casemiro’s performance since his £60m transfer from Real Madrid to Man United.
Casemiro’s reliability at United questioned
Casemiro had a great first season, but his behavior on the field has been scrutinized on a few occasions during the current season.
He was sent off twice, against Crystal Palace and Southampton, which resulted in him being suspended for eight games.
However, he made a comeback last weekend and played the entire match as his team secured a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, marking their third consecutive league victory.
In the upcoming week, Ten Hag’s team will take a break from league action and aim to win two more trophies.
