Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has opened up on the role being asked of him by Erik ten Hag at the club. The arrival of Casemiro at United this summer saw Ten Hag bolster his midfield with a much needed combination of steel and experience.
It may have taken a little longer than many fans thought for the midfielder to be handed his first Premier League start, but he certainly made it worth the wait.
The Brazilian picked up the Man of the Match award for his commanding display during United's 2-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park.
Casemiro demonstrated his close control and passing range, as he recovered superbly after being dispossessed in the build-up to the Toffees' opening goal.
