Casemiro is living life as Lionel Messi’s teammate in Miami for Inter Miami, but Man Utd fans can’t believe he’s doing it again after his latest game.
The expectations for Casemiro at Inter Miami were high because he joined as someone who looked genuinely capable of playing in the Premier League elite when he left Man Utd.
He even cut short his World Cup holiday and returned to action early, and has been the first name on the teamsheet since then.
After his latest game for David Beckham’s side, Man Utd fans can’t believe that he’s doing it again.

Man Utd fans react to Casemiro for Inter Miami
Inter Miami’s latest game was against Robert Lewandowski’s Chicago Fire, and Casemiro started in an unnatural position.
He was played as the centre-back, tasked with building out from the back, but United fans have harrowing memories of the same.
Casemiro struggled immensely at CB at Old Trafford, but that wasn’t why his performance was hard to believe.
That disbelief was because for the third game in a row, Casemiro scored off a set-piece, this time a corner delivered by Lionel Messi.
All three goals have been headers, which is something fans at Old Trafford were accustomed to. They can’t believe he’s gone up another level on a skill that was already dominating the Premier League.
“This guy is a cheat code on corners. He is back but he never left!” said one fan under the video of Casemiro scoring vs Chicago.
“Messi has taken over from where Bruno Fernandes left off,” said another, as a third wrote, “Casemiro has never seen this kind of food before. He can’t believe his life right now!”
“Every day I miss his head. He should still be playing at the highest level,” said a fourth, reminiscing about his exploits for United.
“He’s so good with headers. Bruno has missed him,” said another, while a sixth spoke for all United fans when they said, “Set-pieces at Man Utd don’t have that excitement anymore. Casemiro is unbelievable.”
Casemiro will hope to extend this unbelievable streak when Miami host Nashville next, hopefully with three points this time.
