The Brazilian bid an emotional farewell to Real Madrid before heading over to Manchester to complete his move to the Theatre of Dreams.

Manchester United might have stumbled across the finish line, but the Premier League giants have finally gotten the defensive midfielder their squad has been crying out for nonetheless.

After failed attempts to sign Barcelona superstar Frenkie de Jong and Juventus rebel Adrien Rabiot, the Red Devils decided to turn their attention elsewhere and recruit cover for their struggling defense. Here is where Casemiro enters, with the English giants agreeing a deal for the Brazilian star out of the blue.

The 30-year-old joins Ten Hag's side on a four-year deal worth hefty money, with the 20-time English champions paying Real Madrid an initial fee of $70M, with an additional $11M set to be forked out in add-ons.

Nonetheless, it is a welcomed addition at the Theatre of Dreams as Cristiano and Co. look to get their season back on, having lost their opening two games of the Premier League campaign 2-1 and 4-0 to Brighton and Brentford, respectively.

Casemiro bid an emotional farewell to Los Blancos, the club where he won a whopping four UEFA Champions League medals, on Monday morning before heading over to Manchester to complete his switch.

And cameras were on hand to catch the Selecao ace as he arrived at Old Trafford ahead of their Monday showdown with bitter rivals Liverpool. A handful of fans were also present, snapping pictures of their new signing.

Unfortunately for Ten Hag, Casemiro will not be available for the clash with Klopp's crew. The Brazilian wasn't registered in time and will likely watch the game from the stands.

Will the Red Devils beat the Merseyside giants or does another terrible defeat await them? Last season, Manchester United lost 9-0 on aggregate to Salah and Co. and will look to put on a respectable performance in front of their home crowd and their latest signing.
