- Casemiro made his 100th appearance for Man Utd against Ipswich Town
- Midfielder moved to Old Trafford in the summer of 2022
- Brazilian opened up on feelings around the club after reaching milestone
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has felt "at home" since joining the club, marking his 100th appearance for the Red Devils during their 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town last month.
The Brazilian made the move from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, joining Erik ten Hag's side and winning the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup under the Dutchman. He's remained a key component of the team throughout staff changes, continuing to feature with Ruben Amorim now at the helm.
While all eyes are on United and their potential success under the new head coach, Casemiro took some time to celebrate one of his own personal achievements.
"Since the first minute [at the club], I have felt at home," he told the club's matchday programme for the visit of Everton, reflecting on the last two and a half years.
"Since the first day, stepping into Manchester Airport, I felt at home, I felt so good. So I just want to thank everyone for the love and support, and I want to repay this on the pitch.
"Everyone wants to win, but my thoughts when I step onto the field of play is to do my best, not just for me or my family, not just for the club, but for the fans. You always have to think of this.
"From day one, the love and support from the fans has been unique and special, it surprised me a lot. I value and enjoy every moment, as I feel so much affection for them."
Casemiro also discussed his feelings about how much support from fans means to him.
"When I was 15 I played a tournament [at Old Trafford], so whenever I look at it or enter the field of play it is always special. You can always feel the warmth from the fans and how they support us – this is something that has surprised me," he said.
"I think it speaks for itself. It is a beautiful stadium and the fans make it even more beautiful still."
