The Brazilian required a few weeks to make it into Erik ten Hag’s starting XI after moving to Manchester United in a £70 million transfer from Real Madrid over the summer.

“I defy anyone that’s half competent not to be able to play with Casemiro, he simply reads the game so well he must be a joy to play with,” Owen said to Premier League Productions. He has experience, knowledge, and a winning mentality.
“Casemiro will remain. Regardless of whether it’s McTominay or Fred, I believe he enjoys having those two sitting players because of their tremendous attacking potential.
“They already create enough chances in midfield; they don’t need any additional strength there.”
