Speaking to the reporters in Qatar, Gabriel Jesus said: “I don't know if people in England watched Casemiro's career before he came to the Premier League, but I followed him for years at Real Madrid and know how many goals he scored in the Champions League.
"If you go to Google and watch Casemiro's games for Real, you will find what he is all about. He went there and scored a lot. I have played with some good midfielders but I have spent a lot of time with Casemiro — and he is just an amazing player. Some people don't understand that.
"They don't give him a lot of respect. But I do because I played with him for such a long time and know how good he is. He will definitely be a good signing for Manchester United because of his quality and the way he works. It is just amazing. He is just so focused all the time.
"He's like 'don't lose, don't give the ball away.' It has been the same everywhere he's been — that's why he has been so successful. If you are a player who loves to work and wants to follow a winner, then he is a great influence. Casemiro is a massive help to everyone because he is so experienced."
Casemiro joined Man United from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window in a deal worth £70 million to bolster the midfield ranks at Old Trafford.
It took the 30-year-old a while to break into Erik ten Hag's starting XI, leading to a lot of criticism of the Brazilian's style of play in the British media.
