Carlos Henrique Casimiro (born 23 February 1992), also known mononymously as Casemiro,^[2] is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Premier League club Manchester United and the Brazil national team. Regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders of his generation, he is known for his defensive abilities, ball-winning skills, and tackling ^[3]^[4]^[5]\n

Casemiro began his career with S\u00e3o Paulo and progressed through the ranks. He scored 11 goals in 111 games as a midfielder for the club. His defensive abilities caught the attention of Real Madrid, and he joined the club on loan in January 2013. He played 15 games for Real Madrid Castilla during his loan spell. Afterward, he was signed permanently by Real Madrid for a fee of \u00a35.1 million, becoming a part of their first-team squad at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.\n

After joining Real Madrid, Casemiro initially struggled to break into the first team. He was loaned to FC Porto for \u20ac15 million in order to gain more playing time. During his time at Porto, Casemiro performed impressively and helped the team reach the Champions League quarterfinals.^[6] Real Madrid decided to reacquire him for \u20ac7.00m in the summer transfer window of 2015.^[7] After returning to the club, Casemiro played a crucial role in Real Madrid's success, winning numerous trophies including three La Liga titles, three Supercopa de Espa\u00f1a, three FIFA Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, one Copa del Rey and five UEFA Champions Leagues. In 2022, he left Real Madrid and joined Manchester United for a transfer worth a reported \u20ac70.65m, winning the EFL Cup in his first season.^[8]\n

A full international since 2011, Casemiro was in Brazil's squad at the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups as well as four Copa Am\u00e9rica tournaments, winning the 2019 Copa Am\u00e9rica and finishing as a runner-up in 2021.\n
