Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has enjoyed his first season at Old Trafford.

The August arrival from Real Madrid was outstanding for the Champions League qualifiers.

"I reckon it's now the third season in my career where I've managed to score seven goals," he explained. "I get the odd goal now and again but, of course, I'm not what you'd call a genuine goal scorer!

"Everyone likes to get on the scoresheet but a favourite phrase of mine is always that my ball-winning tackles are my goals. That's what I really like doing and that's when I'm at my happiest. When I'm winning the ball back, helping out my team-mates, getting my team-mates playing and moving the ball better, closing down space and then ensuring that we bring the ball out from the back with quality.

"They are really my duties but, sure, everyone likes to score and create assists. We all like to but, in reality, my job and what I do on the pitch is something quite different, everybody knows that!"
