Liverpool star Fabinho lauds Manchester United new boy Casemiro, while he defends Fred

Liverpool midfielder Fabinho has heaped praise on new Manchester United signing Casemiro, while he has launched a staunch defence of Fred and said he ‘doesn’t understand the criticisms’ the midfielder receives.

Erik ten Hag’s side confirmed on Friday that they had reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the £70million signing of five-time Champions League winner Casemiro.

He bid farewell to Los Blancos in an emotional press conference on Monday and will be presented to the Old Trafford faithful ahead of tonight’s clash with Liverpool.
