- Casemiro's reaction after Bruno Fernandes had scored Manchester United's second goal at Old Trafford was captured
- It has been a long way in adaptation to a new league and new teammates for the Brazilian, after leaving Real Madrid
- He now looks settled in Erik ten Hag's side, with his wealth of experience slowly starting to make an impact
Casemiro has seemingly fallen in love with Manchester United already, months after joining them from Real Madrid.
Despite being a proven winner with an impressive CV, he struggled to break through into Erik ten Hag's starting eleven. He was forced to contend with limited appearances off the bench.
But as they say, class is permanent. Bit by bit, the Brazilian started picking up the pieces and showed why the five Champions League titles on his resume were no fluke.
He made his first Premier League start against Everton and put in one of his best performances in a Manchester United shirt. Apart from providing the assist for the winner driven in by Cristiano Ronaldo, he was at hand to prevent Everton from making any significant forays.

Casemiro established in United squad
He subsequently started against Newcastle and against Tottenham, and now looks set to operate as ten Hag's pivot. Against the latter, he faced a formidable test of containing the never-tiring trio of Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Tottenham struggled to contain United's tempo at Old Trafford. Casemiro recorded a 85% pass accuracy as ten Hag's men collectively thwarted the threat of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.
However, it was his wholesome reaction that caught the eyes of a few fans. A video on social media, spotted by Sports Brief, shows him going to the ground with pure raw emotion after Bruno Fernandes scored United's second goal.
He was substituted in the 87th minute and as he trod off the pitch, he was given a defeating ovation by the home ground.
