Casemiro points out Erik ten Hag’s three best qualities as Manchester United manager
Casemiro has identified Erik ten Hag’s three best qualities as Manchester United manager, as the midfielder revealed why he thinks so highly of the Dutchman.
Last weekend, Ten Hag gave Casemiro his first Premier League start, as United defeated Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park.
The Brazilian rewarded his manager with a man-of-the-match performance in midfield, setting up Cristiano Ronaldo’s game-winning goal.
Scott McTominay has started the majority of league games this season, but the tide appears to be turning in his favor. Because the Scot is suspended for the Newcastle game on Sunday, Casemiro is likely to get another start.
The former Real Madrid player has now revealed why he regards Ten Hag so highly as a manager, naming three key principles that distinguish the Dutchman as a great coach.
Speaking to club media, Casemiro said: “I believe it’s his desire to win, his ambition and hard work. Not just him, but all the coaching staff. They always want to win, they never get complacent. They’re always looking to do something new, always wanting to make a difference in games.
“I believe Manchester United have a great manager, it was there to see at Ajax, I think he’s doing a good job here. It’s a diverse group of players, different players, I believe we’ll adapt to his style of play.”
Casemiro was also asked if Ten Hag reminds him of any other managers he has previously worked with.
He said: “Every manager has their own way of playing, their own way of leading. I’ve worked with [Carlo] Ancelotti and [Zinedine] Zidane, they are managers that want to win, which is the most important thing. Hard work and dedication, being intensely dedicated to the club, I think winning is a consequence of this – doing things right is essential.”
