Shining at MU, Casemiro receives a special 'award'

A goal and an assist in the latest match earned the Brazilian midfielder notable recognition from the fans.

Casemiro was recently voted the Premier League Player of the Week (fan choice) after an outstanding performance in Manchester United’s 3-2 victory over Fulham. The Brazilian midfielder scored a crucial goal and provided an assist, directly influencing the outcome for the Manchester side in an emotional weekend clash.

According to the Premier League organizers, Casemiro won decisively with 51% of the fan votes. The closest contender, Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike, only received 17%. This clearly demonstrates Casemiro’s impact at a time when MU needs experienced leaders.

Notably, Casemiro is the fourth consecutive Manchester United player to be named Player of the Week, following Benjamin Sesko, Bruno Fernandes, and Patrick Dorgu. This award streak partly reflects the individual improvement of MU’s key players, despite the team’s inconsistent overall form.

Casemiro’s rising form comes amid speculation about his future at Old Trafford. Some international sources report that the veteran midfielder might leave MU on a free transfer at season’s end, with MLS clubs, especially LA Galaxy, showing serious interest in signing the 34-year-old star.

If he moves to the US, Casemiro is expected to reunite with Marco Reus at LA Galaxy, in a league less physically demanding than the Premier League. This move is considered a sensible step for the final stage of his peak career, aligning with MU’s plans to reduce the wage bill and rebuild under new management.

Nevertheless, Casemiro has shown professionalism by affirming his full commitment to Manchester United until the last day of his contract. Performances like the one against Fulham show he hasn’t given up; on the contrary, he wants to finish his journey in England with a strong mark, leading the midfield as a captain.
