Redknapp said Casemiro played a starring role in Man United’s 1-0 win over West Ham
Redknapp agreed by saying: ‘Just having him in front of that back four gives them so much confidence. I have seen situations where the midfielder runs into open areas, Casemiro breathes and plays the game in slow motion.’
‘The silkiness and smoothness that gives United a better platform. The big games, City away they struggled a little bit but City come here two weeks after the restart and it will be really interesting to see if Ten Hag goes with that three. That will be the real test.
‘Those three ruled Europe for many years, playing in the biggest games and controlled them but there is something similar to what Casemiro is seeing here to what he seen at Real Madrid.
Redknapp said Casemiro played a starring role in United’s 1-0 win over West Ham. He said the 30-year-old made everything look so ‘simple’ and claimed he knew the game inside-out.
‘For a long time I have looked at United’s midfield and thought it is so disjointed, there is no one that can do that job of getting hold of the ball and make the right pass.
‘What he has done is brought so much authority to this team, calm, quality, know-how, knowing when to press, knowing when to intercept, how many times have we seen him just doing that, picking people’s pockets and then playing the right pass.
Meanwhile, Neville added: ‘He is (improving players). None of Eriksen, Casemiro, Fernandes are quick or what you would call true defensive midfielders but you think of that midfield three he played in at Madrid with Kroos and Modric. Then look at him alongside Eriksen and Fernandes, Kroos and Modric are far better players but there are similarities to what we are seeing here in the style.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was equally as impressed with Casemiro’s performance. Speaking after the game he said: ‘For me he is brilliant. You can see why he wins five Champions League trophies and acting that long at the top of world football. We see that in every match and every training. He will only get better and better.’

‘You can see other teams looking at him like “wow that’s Casemiro there” a little bit of spike but he knows where to be. They haven’t had that in midfield. Gary (Neville) played with magnificent midfielders at this club.
‘I thought he was excellent today. Everything he does he makes it look so simple. He played for Real Madrid for so long he knows the game inside-out.’
