In the first leg of the Europa League Semi-final, Man United traveled to Athletic Bilbao.
Despite playing away, the Red Devils still had an overwhelming performance and won 3-0 overall.
This result helps Amorim and his team have a wide open door to the final, because they still have a second leg to play at home.
In this match, Bruno Fernandes scored a double for Man United. However, the legend Rio Ferdinand believes that Casemiro is the key factor for the victory.
He was quoted by TNT Sports: "I don't think Casemiro made any mistakes. He played great tonight. He is very disciplined."
Casemiro opened the scoring in the 30th minute with an accurate header after a pass from Harry Maguire.
In terms of playing style, he touched the ball 109 times (the most on the pitch), successfully making 5 long passes. In defense, Casemiro had 5 clearances, 4 turns, and 9 wins.
At the age of 33, Casemiro was once doubted, having had a relatively disappointing season at Man United.
Ferdinand praised the recent revival of the former Real Madrid star: "People have been talking about removing him, that his legs are not the same as before.
But I tell you, he always shows up when Man United need him most. This is the most important time of the season.
Casemiro had a great career at Real Madrid, winning 5 Champions Leagues, 3 La Lhas and a series of noble titles.
At Man United, despite many ups and downs, he also helped the Red Devils win 1 FA Cup and 1 League Cup.
