Ballon d’Or frontrunner Karim Benzema has congratulated Casemiro on his move to Manchester United.
United last night announced a deal in principle, confirming: “The transfer is subject to the agreement of personal terms, UK visa requirements and a medical.”
Benzema and Casemiro have started alongside each other for Real Madrid, winning the Champions League for a fifth time in May.
They will now no longer be part of the same team, with Casemiro heading to Old Trafford on a four-year deal, with an option of a fifth.
