Bruno Fernandes told he has been overtaken as Man Utd's talisman

Wes Brown believes Casemiro has knocked Bruno Fernandes off his perch by becoming Manchester United's new talisman.

Casemiro, 30, joined United last summer after becoming a five-time Champions League winner at Real Madrid. The Brazil international has made a positive impact at Old Trafford, although he will miss United's next game against Premier League leaders Arsenal due to suspension after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season against Crystal Palace.
