Here are your Thursday morning Manchester United headlines
Eriksen midfield admission
Christian Eriksen says his collaboration with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes is one of the best midfields he has played in.
Manchester United have won 15, drawn two and lost none when Eriksen, Casemiro and Fernandes have started together and the trio were on vintage form in the 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Fernandes is suspended for United's Europa League quarter-final second leg against Sevilla on Thursday night and the fit-again Marcel Sabitzer could come in.
"Two very good football players," Eriksen said of Casemiro and Fernandes. "For me, it is easy. For anyone, to fill in the extra gap between them, it has been easy."
Casemiro praise
Owen Hargreaves has praised Casemiro for his forward-thinking instincts that would even please legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
Casemiro has been one of United's standout players this season, anchoring the midfield and adding experience to Erik ten Hag's squad. The Brazilian's winning mentality has proved crucial to a season in which the Reds could end with three trophies and a place in the top-four.
Former United midfielder Hargreaves believes Casemiro could be crowned the club's Player of the Year come June, as much for his line-breaking passes as his consistency.
"There’s been so many great players here, but the great, great ones are consistent," Hargreaves told club media. "You think of Bryan Robson, Roy Keane and Paul Scholes, they are seven out of 10 pretty much every game and sometimes they’re an eight or a nine, and rarely they have a five out of 10 game."
