Manchester United players have welcomed new signing Casemiro.

The former Real Madrid midfielder's move was confirmed this morning.

The Daily Mail says Casemiro's arrival is viewed as "a blessing" while some players have said "a bulldog like him was needed for some time", reports a dressing room insider.

Casemiro told Real coach Carlo Ancelotti and Madrid that he wanted a new challenge after United offered the 30-year-old a four year deal with the option of an extra year on around £360,000 a week.

They have agreed to pay Madrid £60m with a further £10m in bonuses as he is set to become Erik ten Hag's fourth signing of the summer.
