He's worked very hard to become part of that Newcastle team despite the injuries he's had, he plays wherever he's needed and has always done a very good job.

It's a strange situation for Casemiro because he is still a very important player for Manchester United, a very important starter for Ruben Amorim, one of the most important players in the dressing room.
