Manchester United’s busy October schedule is over, so it is time to vote for the club’s Player of the Month.

As there were nine games, and four Reds clear in terms of nominations, the Red Devils decided to increase the shortlist in order to provide an additional option for supporters.

The Brazil international may have been eased into life in the Premier League but he is firmly up and running now.

He was excellent in the win at Everton, assisting Cristiano Ronaldo’s winner, and picked up his first Man-of-the-Match award in the goalless draw with Newcastle United at Old Trafford, setting up a late chance for Rashford.

A second star-man prize was not long in coming, as Casemiro shone at Chelsea and, of course, scored his first goal for Manchester United with the wildly celebrated injury-time header.

However, much of his best work is unsung and unheralded in the middle of the park. Following another impressive performance against Westham United on Sunday, Man United manager, Erik ten Hag described the Brazilian as the “cement” in the squad.

In his words, ten Hag said,

“I call him the cement in the midfield. In and out of possession, he makes such a difference and gives the team an extra edge, and helps them dominate. He is a top player,”

Casemiro join the Premier League giants in a £70 million deal from Real Madrid about two months ago.

The 30-year-old has played for Real since 2013, earning five Champions Leagues and three La Liga championships.

Meanwhile, on Twitter football fans are comparing Declan Rice of Westham United and Casemiro. I think this is a useless comparison, Rice is nowhere too close to Casemiro.
