A 2-1 home defeat to Brighton was followed by a 4-0 humiliation at the hands of Brentford.
Having chased Casemiro since June, United chiefs feared he’d snub them after their embarrassing start to the season.
Rather than putting the Brazilian off, however, the dreadful results strengthened his desire to come to Old Trafford and solve their issues.
Already enamoured with a move to Manchester, the 30-year-old tuned in to United’s loss at Brentford from his former home in Madrid.
According to the Telegraph, he asked his agents to send Red Devils chiefs a defiant message.
He texted them: “Tell them I’ll fix this.”
Casemiro’s £70million move to the Theatre of Dreams was confirmed just six days later.
Real Madrid officials tried their best to convince their midfield stalwart to stay.

But his mind had already been made up.
After initially starting games on the bench as he settled in at Man United, Casemiro unsurprisingly earned a place in the starting XI for the 2-1 victory over Everton on October 9.
He has subsequently began the Red Devils’ last 10 Prem games, losing only once as a starter.
The defensive minded midfielder has also bagged goals against Chelsea and Bournemouth.
