Casemiro moved to Manchester to join former Real Madrid teammates Raphael Varane and Ronaldo. Although the latter has not played frequently for the first team — he was left off the squad last weekend after storming off during the weekend match against Spurs — the midfielder has thanked the Portuguese for aiding in his adjustment.
