Legendary France midfielder Claude Makelele has asserted that Casemiro of Manchester United is actually an improvement above himself.

Back in the day, the 51-year-old was among the world’s best defensive midfielders. Though he believes Manchester United’s Casemiro is superior to him, he was an incredible player in his heyday.

Claude Makelele claims that Casemiro of Manchester United is superior to him.

In a £70 million transaction, Manchester United acquired Casemiro from Real Madrid last year (Sky Sports).

At the Santiago Bernabeu, the Brazilian was unquestionably iconic. He played a crucial role in the team’s five Champions League victories.

Casemiro had high expectations coming into Manchester United, and while he hasn’t quite lived up to the fanfare, he has had some incredible moments.

Claude Mekelele, a seasoned defensive midfield specialist, thinks Casemiro is at his best point in his career.

Makelele was instructed to remain silent until a superior defensive midfield player was named in a video posted on Goal. When players like Declan Rice, Roy Keane, Joshua Kimmich, and Javier Mascherano were mentioned, he remained silent; however, when Casmeiro’s name was mentioned, he conceded defeat.

Makelele acknowledged. “Because he is young, this generation is different. I can see my generation in him.

At Manchester United, Casemiro needs to perform better.

Hasn’t Manchester United experienced yet another unsatisfactory season?

Even though Tottenham is more likely to finish in fifth place, the Red Devils are already 11 points behind Aston Villa, who are now in fourth position and could qualify for the Champions League next season.

Casemiro and several other players need to step up if Manchester United are to have a successful season finale.

Only 1090 minutes of football have been played by the Brazilian in the Premier League this year. If he can maintain his fitness, he can have a huge impact, and Erik ten Hag will undoubtedly be hoping he can play until the end of the year.
