Casemiro Was Just Panic Buy for Manchester United. Gary Neville believes Manchester United’s decision to buy 13-time Premier League champions. Casemiro was not in their summer plans since. already first
The 30-year-old joined from Real Madrid for a reported £60 million. After the Red Devils miss out on signing Frankie de Jong from Barcelona in the summer.
Casemiro made his official start as the Red Devils shirt in the UEFA Europa League clash with Real Sociedad in midweek. But was unable to show form to help the team survive defeat.
Neville, however, sees the striker not an option in United’s early transfer market. Believes it is a money-only solution for the Glazer family, who own the club.
“Man Utd wanted to spend around £130-140m. But they ended up paying £230m, of course we’ve seen this before for the Glazer family.
“When there are many problems and began to protest. They will spend money and try to please the fans. Which is commonly refer to as Panic buying”
Casemiro’s arrival and Anthony’s transfer took place two days before the game with Liverpool. So of course it was a time. When they were in need of a new player. It was not plan from the beginning. That was laid out in the summer. This is the only spending they need to make,” Neville said.
