Before moving to Old Trafford, Manchester United's new acquisition, Casemiro, expressed his desire for Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at the team.

Before tonight's match against Liverpool, the 30-year-old midfielder from Real Madrid is expected to be introduced. He will cost United £70 million.

In spite of Ronaldo's uncertain future, Casemiro hopes the "incredible" forward with whom he won several awards, including four Champions League titles, stays at the club. They were teammates at Real Madrid.

He said: "I hope Cristiano stays. I want to play with him again. He's incredible."

'I can't wait to play with Cristiano Ronaldo again.'

Earlier in the summer, Ronaldo told the club he wanted to leave and missed most of pre-season to force a move to a team in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Casemiro hit back at those claiming he's moving to Old Trafford for financial gain, insisting if that was the case, he would've left Real many years ago. 

'Leaving for money? People who say this clearly don't know me. They're wrong. If it was for money, I would have left 4 years ago, "he said. 

Casemiro is expected to be one of the highest earners at the club, alongside David De Gea, with a reported £375,000-per-week contract.
