Casemiro names teammate he always wants on his team in Manchester United training

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has revealed that he always wants fellow Brazilian Antony on his team during training, as well as who he thinks is the fastest, funniest, most skilful player and who would make the best future manager.

Erik ten Hag may have taken his time to introduce Casemiro to the Premier League, but the wait has been well worth it. Since his first league start against Everton, where the 30-year-old was awarded the Man of the Match, he has gone from strength to strength.

Scott McTominay had initially held on to his place in Ten Hag's starting XI, yet it was only a matter of time before the five-time Champions League winner cemented himself in the club's first-team plans. Casemiro has had to not only understand a new tactical set-up at United, but also get to grips with the playing styles and attributes of all his new teammates.
