Manchester United star Casemiro has excitedly claimed he feels the club are getting closer to winning titles again following their 3-1 FA Cup win over Reading. The Brazil international netted twice during the showdown at Old Trafford, with Fred also on target. And it means the Red Devils are still in contention to win all four trophies they’re competing in this term.

United had to be patient against Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday night.

But Casemiro operated at the peak of his powers and his double, as well as Fred’s strike, sent the Red Devils through to the next round.

Speaking after the game, the United star hailed Ten Hag for the work he’s done at Old Trafford since taking charge.

And the 30-year-old also feels the Red Devils are on the right path when it comes to winning trophies, with their last piece of silverware coming all the way back in 2017.

“I’m very comfortable, extremely happy to be here and enjoying every moment like a 15-year-old kid!” said Casemiro.

“But the most important thing is to see the team growing.

“When you arrive at a new club, you always dream of making history, especially if we see the greatness of this club. We know the history.

“But I was aware of needing some time to adapt and of the rivals having a long-term plan before ours, like Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool.

“They all have managers that have been there for a while and, therefore, they have an advantage.

“We have to see what the reality is and we’re still a club under construction.

“Of course, we’re already respected, the opponents know we’re strong, that we have good dynamics, the manager is doing a good job, the players as well.

“United is a big club. If we look at the titles, it’s the biggest in England.

“In our lives we have to have goals and challenges. It was a challenge for me to keep growing and developing in my career.

“We’re on a good path. This is the way to win titles, but we need to keep growing.

“We’re progressing within a plan and building a well-structured team. To win titles in the future, you have to build a solid foundation.”

And Casemiro also revealed he was delighted to be at United and thanked fans for helping him adapt to life in the Premier League.

“I’m happy with my adaptation here, and my team-mates and the staff are really helping me,” said the former Real Madrid star.

“With the English language, it’s been quite hard, but I’m really trying to get better.

“Everyone here has been lovely with me and since the first day I feel at home here. I appreciate all the effort that the club has done to bring me here.

“I’m grateful for the compliments I’ve been receiving, but the key to all of that is that I’m really enjoying myself here. I’m very happy and I do feel at home.”

Next up for United is their Carabao Cup clash with Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

The Red Devils are 3-0 up from the first leg after a stirring win at the County Ground earlier in the week.

Casemiro will be hoping to start that game as United look to seal a passage to Wembley.

They’re due to face either Newcastle or Southampton in the final, providing they get there.
