Back in the ‘good old days’, the clubs would just announce they signed a new player, and the press conference would follow, along with first photos from the stadium with a player in a new shirt. But in these modern times, club’s social media managers are just constantly competing who will be more creative, more crazy, more ‘inventive’ and we have seen mini-documentaries, players coming out of the water, players being announced almost at midnight…and Manchester United decided to introduce Casemiro singing – just minutes before the big derby with Liverpool! The midfielder has signed a contract until June 2026, with the option to extend for a further year.Casemiro presented at Old Trafford. Best of luck, legend! pic.twitter.com/5f2DUB6qTl— TC (@totalcristiano) August 22, 2022 The first proper United signing so far, a five time Champions League winner came to the club today, and was squeezed between fans protests against the club’s owners and a big derby against old foes, just so the supporters could think less about the Glazers and more about the match. Casemiro’s walk on the field, raising his jersey and taking pictures were a prelude to the derby with Liverpool, which comes at a difficult moment for both teams. This is your home, @Casemiro 😍#MUFC pic.twitter.com/MSfdt5rGRv— Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 22, 2022 “The opportunity to start a new challenge at Manchester United and in the Premier League is extremely exciting. I have worked with many great managers in my career and, having met with Erik and heard his ideas, I can’t wait to work closely with him, his staff and my new team-mates in the coming years. I’m ending one beautiful journey in Madrid whilst starting another in Manchester as determined as ever to win football matches, win trophies and make our fans proud by bringing success to this great club. Everybody knows the history of Manchester United, the significance of the club around the world and what it means to its supporters. To represent United is an honour and I am ready to give everything to help the team achieve our ambitions” said Casemiro for the club’s website. Is he crying because he’s leaving Real Madrid or because he’s joining Manchester United?After requiring a serial winner, United will use this nine remaining days in the transfer window to bring more reinforcements and that means that they will push for Antony (again) from Ajax, while looking to strengthen other areas of the team also. ##NAJAVA_MECA_6580510##
