Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has signed a deal with Premier League giants Manchester United on a 70 million euros transfer from Spanish club Real Madrid. Casemiro expressed his desire to win the Premier League with the Red Devils and got brutally trolled by former England striker Gary Lineker on social media.

After losing both their opening Premier League 2022-23 games, Manchester United were looking for a defensive replacement ahead of their fixture against Liverpool on Monday night at the Old Trafford.

The move is not money-centered as Casemiro wanted to face new challenges in his professional football career and joined struggling Man United this summer. Casemiro has set his goals at Manchester United, which includes winning the Premier League title with the club. However, Gary Lineker took to Twitter and mocked the Brazilian as he wrote, "He knows he’s joining United rather than City, right?"

On Monday, the 30-year-old midfielder bid an emotional farewell to Real Madrid, where he won five Champions League Trophies in nine years. He also talked about his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, "I haven't talked to Cristiano, I hope he stays because he's one of the best players in all the time. He's incredible."

Apart from Cristiano, the Brazilian footballer is set to reunite with former teammate Raphael Varane. United had missed to secure a berth in the Champions League this season and will look to solidify their position among the top four clubs in the Premier League 2022-23 points table to return to the most prestigious European club competition.
