Casemiro made his competitive Inter Miami debut against Montreal, and Man Utd fans can’t believe what he managed to do.
After leaving Man Utd as a free agent this summer, Casemiro has basically completed football by signing for Inter Miami.
He will now play with Lionel Messi after winning the lot with Cristiano Ronaldo, and Inter Miami owner David Beckham is hugely excited.
All that excitement came to the fore in his debut in a 1-0 win against Montreal, which left Man Utd fans in utter bewilderment.

Man Utd fans react to Casemiro’s Inter Miami debut
Despite playing in the World Cup, Casemiro returned early and played a competitive game straight away, further stressing his elite mentality.
It was an attritional game away at Montreal, and he played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 win, starting alongside Sergio Reguilon (remember him?) and Luis Suarez.
Lionel Messi is not back yet after going to the World Cup final, but United fans couldn’t believe that Casemiro was doing a good Messi impersonation.
The way he ran forward and dribbled past players with plenty of time and space was a reflection of the league, but it also proved how overqualified the Brazilian is compared to the league.
“People raving about how good Messi is in the MLS while Casemiro is out here looking bored, doing training runs,” said one, as another wrote, “After four seasons in the Premier League, MLS should feel like U15s football.”

A third credited Carrick for his revival, writing, “Half a year with Carrick and he’s already moving better than most DMs out there.”
“He’s going to be the best player on the pitch for the next three years, and everyone already knows it,” declared another, as one fan simply said three words to capture the sentiment, “Too easy, man.”
“Look at the space and time in MLS! He could literally cook a whole meal between his passes,” said another in complete bewilderment.
Finally, one fan summed up the wonder perfectly, saying, “Seeing Casemiro pull off Messi moves in the MLS feels like a glitch in the simulation. Did he miss playing in a midfield where he has all the time in the world to cook?”
Casemiro will make his home debut in Inter Miami’s next game against Columbus on August 2, and on the basis of this game, he should coast through it in second gear as well.
