Antony hails Man Utd’s ‘guard dog’ Casemiro as £70m former Real Madrid star begins to shine after Old Trafford transfer

Published on October 27, 2022 at 06:08 PM

MANCHESTER UNITED star Antony has praised his team-mate Casemiro – calling him a “guard dog”;.

The defensive midfielder is starting to shine for the Red Devils following his £70million move from Real Madrid.

Since coming into the starting XI in response to losing 6-3 to rivals Man City, United have gone five unbeaten and kept three clean sheets.

Casemiro also netted a dramatic late equaliser with an outstanding header versus Chelsea.

In an interview directly with Man Utd, fellow new signing Antony spoke about his Brazilian compatriot.

He said: “Casemiro is a more serious type.

“I always say he is our guard dog in the middle. He is a no-nonsense guy, a more serious type.”;

The 30-year-old won the Champions League five times at Real Madrid and LaLiga on three occasions before making the move to the Premier League.

He has developed a reputation over the years of being a tough tackling midfielder who is excellent at breaking up the play – not for his goalscoring.

Casemiro roared and jumped in front of the travelling away fans after he netted in 94th minute against Chelsea and Antony suggested he may not get many more.

He joked: “I think he will leave these goal celebrations to us attacking players.”;

Erik ten Hag’s side face Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League before welcoming West Ham to Old Trafford in the Prem.

Casemiro and Antony are both hoping to be a part of the Brazil squad that travels to Qatar for the World Cup next month – as is fellow United man Fred.
