Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez have become leaders for the club since being signed by Erik ten Hag.

Martinez was one of Ten Hag's first signings when he arrived from Ajax in the summer. Some pundits questioned whether the Argentina international would be able to adapt to the Premier League due to his height.

However, the centre-back proved many wrong as he overcame a shaky start to become a starter for the Reds. Meanwhile, Casemiro was deemed a standout signing when he joined from Real Madrid.

The 31-year-old soon became integral to the United midfield, anchoring the team and becoming a key asset. Speaking to the club's official website, Scholes believes both men have been crucial to the Reds' resurgence this season.
