"Can't believe people were doubting him" "A Rolls Royce" - Manchester United fans laud 'exceptional' new signing for 'bossing' Tottenham in 2-0 win

Manchester United fans have been lauding Casemiro following the midfielder's impressive performance in the side's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on October 19.The Red Devils romped to a fully deserved victory over a poor Spurs side, with goals from Fred and Bruno Fernandes securing all three points.United bombarded Hugo Lloris' goal with constant attacks and chances in the first half, but the French shot-stopper stood firm. The second half finally bore fruit for Ten Hag's side as Fred slotted home in the 47th minute with the help of a deflection.Fernandes then curled home a delightful strike in the 69th minute as Spurs couldn't contain the Red Devils' attacking threat.It was perhaps United's best performance to date under Erik ten Hag as they had an incredible 28 shots to Tottenham's nine.United controlled the midfield and that was mostly thanks to Casemiro's dominant performance. The Brazilian broke up play superbly and was a real presence throughout. He also took two shots, with one left-footed strike going agonizingly wide in the first half.Casemiro also made two key passes with a passing accuracy of 84.8% throughout. Defensively, the former Real Madrid midfielder was at his very best, making four tackles and two interceptions.It was his best performance in a Manchester United shirt since his £63.6 million move from Madrid this past summer.The security that he gives United's backline is impressive and he was awarded man-of-the-match for his outing.Any doubts over his adaption to Premier League football were put to bed by tonight's performance and here are some reactions from fans on Twitter:Zoba@CzoobaCasemiro owns the midfield in this game, he's bossing Spurs!26928Casemiro owns the midfield in this game, he's bossing Spurs!Faysal@elfayz_I’m seein hella man praise this Casemiro performance.
