Manchester United’s Casemiro recently opened up in an interview about his evolving partnership with fellow midfielder Manuel Ugarte and the unique synergy they bring to the team.
Casemiro described their teamwork, saying, “I have a strong connection with him. Our understanding on the pitch means that when one of us goes forward, the other instinctively knows to cover, and vice versa. That’s the balance we aim for, ensuring that one complements the other.”
The Brazilian midfielder further emphasized how Ugarte’s skills and presence command respect from both opponents and teammates. He highlighted Ugarte’s background as a Uruguayan international as a testament to his strength and resilience, underscoring the valuable depth he adds to Manchester United’s midfield lineup.
Reflecting on his own season so far, Casemiro was candid about the difficulties the team has encountered, particularly in challenging games like the recent match against Liverpool. “The whole team was not at its best in that game, and it’s been a tough season overall,” he acknowledged.
Despite these setbacks, Casemiro remains optimistic, saying, “I feel that it’s been a good season for me individually. My focus is on continued growth, and I’m committed to helping my teammates, the coach, and Manchester United as a whole move forward.”
