  • Thomas Partey and Casemiro are two of the best defensive midfielders in the world
  • The duo played for years in La Liga and are now reunited in the Premier League
  • Fans cannot stop debating who is the better footballer of the two masters of their craft

The Premier League is indubitably the most popular league in the world with a solid media presence which leads to content around the league generating controversies and debates.

Thomas Partey and Casemiro spent years playing in La Liga, and there was not much debate on who was better, but after the Brazilian's £70m move to Manchester United from Real Madrid, an unending debate has started.

Is it because of the pass? Come on what has Partey really achieved in football as compared to Casemiro? I don’t want to sound like I’m not supporting a Ghanaian but let’s all be frank and honest here

Please please and please , I am an Arsenal fan . Forget Casemiro is playing for United . Don’t disrespect that guy, he is ahead of our party, he is even scoring goals to add to his hard work since he came into the United team. Go back to his days with Real Madrid

Trippier snubs Partey and Casemiro

Arsenal and Manchester United fans may be in a constant battle over who is better between Casemiro and Thomas Partey, but an English footballer is rated ahead of the two.

As reported by Sports Brief, Newcastle United defender Kieran Trippier claims compatriot Declan Rice is better than Casemiro and Partey.

Trippier, who played with the Ghanaian at Atletico Madrid, also overlooked Casemiro's truckload of trophies and picked the West Ham midfielder as the best in the world.
