As a second group of Manchester United players reported for pre-season training this week, Casemiro made his much-discussed comeback to Carrington.
Prior to United’s first preseason friendly against Premier League newcomers Leeds United on Saturday, July 19, Ruben Amorim and his backroom crew are putting in a lot of effort on the training field.
Casemiro was joined at Carrington on Thursday by Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Patrick Dorgu, Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, Chido Obi, and Manuel Ugarte.
Toward the close of the previous season, the midfielder was one of United’s most impressive players.
After gaining the confidence of head coach Ruben Amorim, he considered the 2024–25 season to be among his “most successful” even though United had their lowest Premier League finish ever.
“This year has been one of the most important years of my career, if not the most,” he stated.
“That’s my biggest accomplishment. When you don’t play and you are able to influence a coach who shows up and doesn’t play you, everyone wants to speak about titles, wins, and important games.
Casemiro went on: “You eventually return, and the coach, who initially essentially didn’t count on you, is suddenly praising you. It was one of my best years ever.
As previously said, Amorim showered Casemiro with accolades following the Brazilian’s valiant return to the starting lineup.
In May, Amorim stated, “He has made significant progress in both his running and playing styles.” “All of the Manchester United players can learn from that. Everything can change in an instant, regardless of the past or the events of the preceding month.
When Casemiro returns to preseason training, fans respond to his metamorphosis.
According to a Manchester Evening News report from May, Casemiro’s recent weight loss has surprised United sources.
And when the midfield player joined his teammates in the Carrington gym on Thursday, he appeared to be in top physical shape.
In response to the images, one fan wrote: “I doubt Casemiro been more fit in his career, he is serious about next season.”
Another commented: “Perhaps this season will bring us the “don’t mess with me” Casemiro. He has responded to all of the criticism in a fantastic way. Hard effort and genuine professionalism. A real leader in the locker room.
“Casemiro looks ready for next season,” remarked a third, while a fourth added, “Ready to prove everyone wrong.”
“What kind of diet did Ruben put these guys on?” a fifth person said. Casemiro appears to be ten years younger.
