Casemiro has opened up about what makes Bruno Fernandes truly special, and it's all about that relentless killer instinct. The Manchester United midfielder, speaking on Rio Ferdinand's podcast, couldn't hide his admiration for his teammate's fearless approach to the game.

"What I love about Bruno is that he plays forward every time. Every time he kills the opposite team," Casemiro said passionately. "Sometimes you lose two or three balls, but you look in his eyes and he's still coming for you. He kills them every time. I love this."

It's a quality that's been on full display this season, especially as Casemiro himself has enjoyed a remarkable resurgence. Since Michael Carrick took over from Ruben Amorim, the Brazilian has been a revelation – not just as a defensive shield, but as an unlikely goal-scoring threat. With nine goals so far this term, it's the most prolific campaign of his stellar career.

Fernandes has been at the heart of that transformation, providing countless assists for his midfield partner. Their chemistry has been a bright spot in what has been a transitional period for the club.

Of course, this season marks the end of an era. Casemiro confirmed back in January that he will leave United upon the expiry of his contract, with the club choosing not to trigger the 12-month extension. The decision was likely driven by the need to free up his significant wages from the books.

But the Old Trafford faithful haven't made it easy for him to go. Time and again, the crowd has erupted with chants of "One more year! One more year!" directed at an emotional Casemiro, who has soaked up the love with visible appreciation. Despite the pleas, both he and Carrick have made it clear: there's no turning back.

Still, as Casemiro prepares for his final months in Manchester, he leaves with a bond forged in fire with Fernandes – a partnership built on the simple, devastating philosophy of always moving forward, always attacking, always looking to kill the game.
