Casemiro has been talking about the appointment of new Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim…

“We have not spoken, but everyone speaks so well of him. Above all, he is very true, very loyal. We cannot ignore how he has changed Sporting. We know that Sporting won many titles, changed the club with titles, with trophies. He has already proved that he is a coach who has won a lot.

“I think there is going to be a good template that everyone wants to grow, everyone wants to learn. I think that is the way to first help us grow to be at the top of the table.”

Asked about Ruud van Nistelrooy following his four games in charge, the Brazilian midfielder said…

“I honestly enjoyed it a lot. Everyone in Madrid that I had asked before said he was a great person so I was not surprised. From the minute one he spoke to us and told us to always enjoy it, always to be happy always, to take advantage of the moment to play for Manchester United. We often forget, don’t we?

“But he was a legend at Manchester United. he was a legend at Madrid. He is a legend of number nines. It was a pleasure. It was a pleasure to share that moment with him. We do not know if he will stay or not, but it was a pleasure to share the dressing room with him, for us it is a pleasure to help him.”
