In August, the midfielder completed a shock switch to the Red Devils following a successful nine-year spell at Real Madrid, with whom he claimed an incredible five UEFA Champions League titles.
Casemiro, 30, sought a new challenge before interest from United caught his attention, a move that not many fans around the world saw coming due to the 20-time English champions having failed to qualify for Europe's biggest club competition for the 2022/23 season.
After taking a while to settle into the side, the Brazil international now appears to be an important cog in United's wheel, having produced impressive performances in recent weeks.
Speaking ahead of their UEFA Europa League clash against Real Sociedad on Thursday night, Casemiro, after being asked what has surprised him the most about Ten Hag, said he has only come across a few managers like the Dutchman.
"I believe that knowing and being in football for quite a while, despite the fact I'm only 30, his obsession for winning is what has surprised me the most," he said, according to the Daily Mirror.
"He's got many strengths. We all know it's a process and we're growing together and we can all see he wants to win.
"His obsession for teaching us and leaving everything perfect to the millimetre, that's key.
"His obsession for winning is something I've seen in very few managers."
