Casemiro says Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is “obsessed” with winning and taking the Red Devils back to the top.
The Brazil star has been arguably Ten Hag’s best signing following the five-time Champions League winner’s £70million transfer from Real Madrid in the summer. Casemiro has worked under some of football’s most decorated bosses, including Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane, but said Ten Hag’s relentless desire to win sets him apart.
“He’s certainly a manager who is obsessed with winning,” Casemiro said of his boss. “Few managers in my career had the same obsession to win. He’s someone who always wants to win, even in training, he always wants the best.
“He’s a hard-working manager who demands a lot of his players, so that we’re always at our best and that’s important for us. I also view him as a manager with the desire to see Manchester United grow and develop – that’s one of his most important characteristics.
“Not just his, but all the coaching staff who follow his lead. He’s a new manager here at the club, he’s trying to introduce his philosophy and style. It’s still very early days in terms of football, still early in terms of introducing his philosophy and bringing in his own players.
“We are growing, we are developing very well and understand the manager better, this is really important to win trophies. We know that it’s a process, it’s very important to adapt to this process quickly.
