Passing and shooting! Amorin praised Manchester United s 33-year-old veteran: He is a role model for the whole team

In the 9th round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Brighton 4-2 at home. Casemiro continued his recent hot state: he assisted compatriot Cunha to open the scoring, and then shot a long shot that caused the opponent's player to refract into the net, expanding the team's score. After the game, Amorim praised his contribution and affirmed the way he earned his way back into the starting lineup through hard work.

"He brings a wealth of experience and is a role model for everyone," Amorim said at the conference. "At first, he was behind all the midfielders, even behind Toby Collier, but he worked hard, worked hard, and now he is not only back in the starting lineup, but also in the national team."

"He is extremely important for us. He runs aggressively, can chase back after pressing high, and keeps doing it. I'm really happy for him. Other players want to Use Casemiro as a mirror - football changes so fast, as long as you train hard for me and I think you are the best at the moment, you will play."

Ruben Amorim believes that every Manchester United player should learn from Casemiro after the Brazilian midfielder performed a masterclass performance in the Premier League victory over Brighton. Casemiro passed and shot, helping the team win three consecutive Premier League wins for the first time under the Portuguese coach.

Under Amorim, Casemiro was once reduced to the iron bench and even had to fight to return to the main roster, but now he has become an indispensable part of the main lineup. This is in stark contrast to last season, when the 33-year-old was at the bottom of the midfield pecking order, even behind youth academy youngster Toby Collier. Nowadays, Casemiro has become the absolute main force in Manchester United's midfield, overwhelming the young Menu and Ugarte. And he also contributed 2 goals and 1 assist in 8 games, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

Now, the difficult problem facing the team is that Manchester United needs to make a decision on Casemiro's future. His contract expires at the end of the season, when Casemiro will become a free agent. Manchester United intends to keep Casemiro, who is about to turn 34, provided that the Brazilian must accept a salary cut. Currently, Casemiro is Manchester United's highest-paid player, with a weekly salary of 375,000 pounds.
