Manchester United great Peter Schmeichelis surprised by the clubs pursuit of Casemiro, expre sing doubt as to whether the midfielder can adapt to life in the Premier League.Erik ten Hags side are widely reported to https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/julius-erving-jersey be closing in on the capture of the Brazilian from Real Madrid for an initial fee of around 60million (70.6m), with his weekly wage said to be350,000.Such a significant outlay on the 30-year-old, who is set to pen a four-year deal at Old Trafford, has raised eyebrows given https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/spencer-dinwiddie-jersey the fact he is entering the twilight years of his career.Schmeichel has further concerns though, as heis not convinced that Casemiro will be able to fit into the role that United are recruiting him for, highlighting the differences to his current position at Madrid.Im surprised, I have to be honest, because Casemiro hasnt been mentioned at all throughout the transfer window, at no point was that name mentioned, he told the BBCs Football Focus.I think hes been absolutely fantastic at Real Madrid, Ive been impre sed with how well hes played. He had an injury, came back and really tightened up the back.But what he did at Real Madrid was to sit in front of the back four, just to give them protection, then when they had the ball https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-hoodie he took part in play but they had Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to give the ball to, then he just stopped. If youre a number six for Manchester United, you are supposed to also drive and take part in the game.Ten Hag says he wants to be in po se sion of https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/james-harden-jersey the game, to be in control of the game, put pre sure on the ball all the time, and thats a big difference from LaLiga. Even playing in the Champions League to playing every week in the Premier League.So Im surprised that this player is now being mentioned at that amount of money with those wages at that age, when we dont know if he can do the job.Im not sure. Maybe sign somebody who we know can play in the Premier League, just for now, then maybe next year or the next transfer window you go and sign the players like Casemiro, exciting players to watch.For me, its an open question, I dont know.United, who have lost their opening two https://www.shophornetsedge.com/brooklyn-nets-jeresy/jeremiah-martin-jersey Premier League matches, have spent much of the transfer window chasing Frenkie de Jong from Madrids rivals Barcelona.
