The arrival of Casemiro from Real Madrid puts Cristiano Ronaldo’s position as the gym king at Manchester United in jeopardy.

This season, both superstars have received more bench practice than they had anticipated.

However, they were part of the United’s team that defeated West Ham at home on Sunday. As expected, they demonstrated the value of their rigid regimen during the game.

The 37-year-old Portuguese icon was regarded by his Old Trafford teammates as the Red Devils’ primary strongman, often leg-pressing up to 250kg to maintain his chiseled thighs.

The addition of Casemiro from Real Madrid in the summer has challenged Ronaldo, who is known for knocking off 30 exercises at a time, to “raise his game.”

The 30-year-old Casemiro of Brazil and the 37-year-old Ronaldo of Portugal are possibly playing in their final World Cup in the coming weeks.

And regardless of what transpires on the field, they’ll unquestionably leave for Qatar perfectly polished and toned.

The 30-year-old midfielder from Brazil amazed the United team with his outstanding strength displays by being able to squat and press close to 300 kg.

Comparing the physique of Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro, the 37-year-old Portuguese football icon is an inch taller and more muscular than the Brazilian midfielder.

Recently, the 30-year-old midfielder stunned them with his ability to defeat Ronaldo, his former Real Madrid teammate, in the leg press after making the lucrative transfer to Old Trafford in August.

Ronaldo takes great pride in his physical condition and how powerful his legs are; few players can consistently lift as much weight as he can, according to a United source.

Ronaldo prefers to use his legs rather than a bench press, but it appears that Casemiro may be a match for him; despite not being the biggest man in the world, he is as powerful as an ox and can push 300 kg while keeping his eyes closed.

At Madrid, Casemiro was well-known for his physical preparedness and power, and he frequently pitted himself against his teammates at the Bernabeu.

Tony Kroos, a former teammate at Real Madrid, had previously informed United of what to expect.

However, While Ronaldo has gained recognition for his physical prowess, Casemiro also developed a reputation at Real Madrid for his strength and fitness, constantly challenging his teammates.

Gareth Bale, rather than Casemiro or Ronaldo, is the club’s top athlete, according to former Los Blancos physician Jesus Olmo.

Olmo, who has collaborated with Bale, has revealed how the Wales international could succeed in any sport and acknowledged that he is exceptional in practically every way.

After spending a lot of time on the golf course over a previous couple of years, Bale’s love for the game has been well acknowledged.

After Ronaldo, the Welshman made a world record move in 2013 when he left Tottenham Hotspur for Los Blancos in a deal estimated to be worth £85 million.

Bale signed a six-year contract at Madrid, but Paul Pogba, who joined Manchester United for £89 million in 2016, broke his record.
