Toby Collyer Hails Casemiro as One of the Greatest Midfielders After Pre-Season Clash
In a recent interview with MUTV, Manchester United’s emerging talent, Toby Collyer, praised his teammate Casemiro as one of the greatest midfielders ever.
Reflecting on their pre-season match against Arsenal, Collyer expressed immense admiration for the Brazilian star, highlighting how valuable Casemiro’s presence has been for his development.
Collyer noted that playing alongside Casemiro has been an extraordinary learning experience.
He mentioned, “It’s incredible to be in the same team as someone who is considered one of the best ever in the midfield role.
For someone like me, it’s a tremendous opportunity to gain insights from him. Watching him in training, having him beside me, and receiving his guidance and support—it’s all been immensely beneficial.
His leadership qualities are evident, and he plays a significant role in helping and motivating the team.”
During the pre-season clash, Arsenal emerged victorious with a 2-1 win over Manchester United, thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus.
Rasmus Hojlund initially put Manchester United ahead, but he was forced to leave the game due to an injury.
Joe Cole speaks on Arsenal and their chances of winning the Premier League this season. He suggests that if Arsenal can sign Victor Osimhen, the title could be theirs.
“I’m going to put an asterisk on this. I think Manchester City win the title if they [Arsenal] don’t bring in a number nine because I still think that will be a problem for them.
“Therefore, I am predicting Manchester City to clinch the league ahead of Arsenal, but if they sign Victor Osimhen, I would change my prediction. As it stands, my choice is Manchester City.”
Jay-Jay Okocha speaks on the popular GOAT debate between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and shares his pick.
“Ronaldo is a special player. But he’s, for me, a goal scorer. He can score 10 million goals. He is a goal scorer. It’s like Haaland. Haaland is a goal scorer.”
“But Messi, Messi, Messi is on another planet,” he said.
“Messi was born to play football, you know. Messi, I think Messi will get ill if he doesn’t play football. You know, he’s a genius,” he added.
