Liverpool legend Dietmar Hamann has confirmed that Manchester United newcomer Casemiro is a great player, showing his signing won’t lead to title success.

Casemiro joined Manchester United from Real Madrid for £70m after a difficult first season move to Eric Ten Hag of the Red Devils.

During his statements, Hamann: “Casemiro is a great player, you just have to look at what he won in Madrid. But he won’t go to United to win the league.”

“We have only two games in the season and it is already clear that United will not come close to the title race, they are years behind Liverpool and Manchester City.

He concluded: “Signing Casemiro is a small step forward, but it is not a solution. It will take years and years of supporting Erik ten Hag in the transfer market before he challenges United again for big titles.”
