Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag hailed Casemiro after the midfielder scored the winner in their 1-0 win at Bournemouth on Saturday.
Ten Hag said the Brazilian's "contribution is massive" to the club, and he has exceeded expectations.
United now need just one point from their last two fixtures to secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification.
Casemiro has impressed in the Premier League following his £70 million move from Real Madrid in August.
"He keeps surprising you. He's such a brilliant football player.
"We know him as very good with organisation, anticipation, winning duels, fighting and keeping the team together but in possession his passing distribution and finishing is very important," Ten Hag said.
