"Around the training ground, the mood seems so much brighter than it was. First of all, they understand, I prove that anyone can play, and everyone has to do the same things, not in the same way, but there are some things that everyone, no matter what is your name, you have to do it to play for Manchester United."
"So they feel that they are part of the journey, and that we are part of something more bigger than just one game or one season. So they are part of our path. And then I show also to them that Casemiro was not part of the starting XI, he was behind, and then he fought. He won the place, and if you win the place, you will be playing."
Casemiro struggled with injuries and suspensions after a strong debut and faced transfer speculation, but returned to be a revelation this season. Manchester United conceded three goals with him on the pitch compared with 13 without him. The squad's mood has brightened as players see that anyone can earn a place by meeting consistent standards and doing required tasks regardless of name. The club emphasizes long-term development across seasons rather than single matches. Casemiro rose from outside the starting XI, fought to win his spot, and now serves as a model of fairness and perseverance for teammates.
