Ruben Amorim thinks that Casemiro racing statistics are proof that he finally draws the best from Brazil star at Manchester United.
The future of Casemiro to Old Trafford was in doubt even before Moror succeeded Erik Ten Hag in November, the club wishing to move his salary of £ 375,000 per week outside the wage bill.
The five -time winner of the Champions League fell below the young Toby Collyer in the hierarchical order of field environments, Amorim demanding that his players run like crazy dogs.
But after another, the display assured of Casemiro during the superb victory in the semi-finals of the 3-0 Europa League against Bilbao Athletic in the San Mames on Thursday evening, Amorim says that United found a way to get the most out of the 33-year-old man.
“I think it has improved a lot,” said the united boss. “You can’t see how he plays but his way of running. You can see it. We have the data to show him where he worked very hard. It is a very good example.
“Even Toby sometimes played in front of him, and now it is difficult to take Casemiro (outside the team). It is therefore a lesson for all the players of Manchester United. No matter what is the past or last month, everything can change in an instant.

Amorim accepts that Casemiro cannot make the high press that he wants and is happy to let the veteran midfielder sit deeper to help in the back, while the wings like Ussair Mazraoui, Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot join the attack.
He added: “We understood that he could not jump all the time by pressing high. Sometimes it is better to put three defenders and let it be the fourth defender, and put the high wings high. These are all things we understand and try to face all the team’s criticism. But the credit is for Casemiro.
