Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said he is 'very happy' with the signing of Casemiro from Real Madrid.

The Brazilian midfielder was paraded in front of the Old Trafford faithful ahead of Monday night's win over Liverpool.

United have paid £70m for the 30-year-old, and ten Hag couldn't be happier.

"He is the cement between the stones, that is what we have been looking for in the summer and found him," Ten Hag told Sky Sports.

"[I'm] very happy with his signing."

United director John Murtough added: "Casemiro is a serial winner and one of the best midfielders in world football; his exceptional record speaks for itself.

"He complements the skillsets of the squad and will be a great addition to the dressing room with his experience, knowledge and character.

"I know that Casemiro remains as determined as ever to be successful on the pitch and we look forward seeing that happen in a Manchester United shirt."
