Former England Goalie Believes Casemiro Was Attracted to Man United by ‘Crazy Money’

• Ex-Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster believes Casemiro was attracted to Manchester United due to the financial gains
• Casemiro could make his long-awaited debut for Man United in their next Premier League game against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium
• The 30-year-old has been handed the No.18 jersey at United, which was previously worn by club legend Paul Scholes

Ben Foster has questioned the motive of Casemiro for joining Manchester United, arguing the Brazilian midfielder is leaving Real Madrid for financial reasons.

Casemiro is on the cusp of signing a four-year deal at Old Trafford, with United set to cough up a fee of £60 million, which will rise after add-ons.

The 30-year-old midfield juggernaut is set to become one of United’s top earners at the club, only coming behind goalkeeper David De Gea and forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to MARCA, the workaholic midfielder will be presented at Old Trafford in the run-up to Man United's league match against Liverpool.

He could make his long-awaited debut for Man United in their next Premier League game against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium.

Speaking on talkSPORT Drive, Foster said: “I read a thing in the paper and United’s wage bill, my gosh, have a look at this bad boy.

“I’d take a fraction of what some of these guys are on!

“It’s crazy money and even Casemiro, Casemiro doesn’t want to leave Real Madrid. He doesn’t. Why would you want to leave Real Madrid?

Foster, who was on the books of Manchester United between 2005 and 2010, is not the only ex-player to have questioned Casemiro's motive, with Ferdinand questioning the fee United are paying.
