Gary Neville: Manchester United should never have signed this £70m player

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said Casemiro should have never been signed by the club.
The Brazilian was signed by Man United in the summer of 2022 at the age of 30, for a fee of £70million on a four-year contract.
Casemiro has been brilliant nevertheless, and has recorded a total of 11 goals and seven assists in 63 appearances.
Gary Neville however doesn’t think the Brazilian fits the club’s long-term vision and wage structure.
Neville said on the latest edition of Stick to Football as per Sky Bet: “Coming in from an owner’s perspective, you employ a head of recruitment who you think is the best guy out there at spotting talent, that will bring value to your club.
“You’ve got a sporting director equally, who will be thinking the same way – their loyalty is to the club and to make sure we win games.
“A manager’s job is purely to think about the immediate short term and getting results for himself.
“Casemiro is perfect example of a short-term signing that is going to cost in the long term.
“That signing never should have gone through a good sporting director, a good owner, and a good head of recruitment.
“That signing should have never gone through, it should have been a veto.
“He doesn’t fit the long-term, the wage [structure]… The wages are crazy and the length of contract is crazy.”
