West Ham star Lucas Paqueta has raved about Man United hero Casemiro and lifts lid on his lifestyle choices people don’t see.
West Ham fans love their Brazilian magnifico Lucas Paqueta and the same can be said for Manchester United supporters when it comes to Casemiro.
The Hammers paid a club record £51m to sign midfielder Paqueta from Lyon. Man United paid that and then some to land his illustrious compatriot Casemiro from Real Madrid.
The West Ham man has taken time to adapt to the Premier League but has emerged as one of West Ham’s best players of late.

The more experienced Casemiro was an instant hit at Man United, showing his class from the get go at Old Trafford.
The Brazil teammates are close friends off the pitch.
But that will be put to one side when they meet in midfield as West Ham welcome Manchester United to the London Stadium in a huge game for both clubs.
Paqueta has been speaking about his compatriot in glowing terms. And he says Casemiro’s success at Man United – and throughout his career – is no coincidence.

‘He has all his routines at home’
“Casemiro is a great player and a friend, and I’m looking forward to playing against him on Sunday,” Paqueta told West Ham’s official site.
“He’s an example to follow as a person and a professional. He does so much to improve as a player when he’s not at the training ground. The way he recovers – I have seen it when I’m with the national team.
“He has all his routines that he does at home. I have learnt a lot from him. He’s a great person and obviously a great player too.”
There can be few better players for Paqueta to learn from than Man United’s new hero.
But West Ham fans will be hoping he gets the better of him when they clash on Sunday night.
