“It’s no competition” – Rio Ferdinand explains why Casemiro is better than Thomas Partey  

Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand has explained why Casemiro is better than Ghana’s Thomas Partey.

The Brazilian joined Manchester United on a big money move in the summer from Real Madrid after winning five Champions Leagues and many domestic trophies in Spain.

Casemiro’s yet to stamp his authority in ten Hag’s team as Partey has already established himself as key figure at the Emirates. 

Casemiro is gradually adapting to the Premier League by scoring a late equalizer for Man United against Chelsea last weekend. 

“How do you prove yourself with cameos of minimal minutes here and there but also, why should he have to prove himself?” Ferdinand told Vibe with Five.

“You’re not coming into Man City. You’re not coming to Bayern Munich. You’re coming into a team that needs to improve. You’re bringing in someone for £70million, probably £100m overall package minimum, who won the Champions League a couple of months ago and saying, ‘prove yourself to get in this team.’

“It’s not the Man Utd of old. It’s Europa League Man Utd. He isn’t 18 years old. If Casemiro comes through, the door has to be opened. Welcome him in and play because we know what you’re bringing.”

He was then pressed on a comparison with Partey and said: “Partey is a really good player. He’s been really good. He’s not the right player to play holding midfielder for Man Utd. We’re talking about a player with many rungs up, many rungs.

“It’s like saying before we had Fred and McTominay in the CDM position, would you not have taken Partey? Well, yes, I would have, but what does that prove? All I’m saying is we’re talking about Casemiro against Partey, and it’s not a competition.”
