Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has heaped praise on Casemiro for his crucial role in the build-up to Christian Eriksen's goal against Fulham.
In his 13th league appearance, Eriksen finally managed to open his account for United during their last game before the World Cup break. Erik ten Hag's side took the lead against Fulham in the 14th minute, with the Dane turning home from close range after being picked out at the back-post by an ever-so-slightly deflected Bruno Fernandes pass.
The plaudits were of course right to go the way of both Eriksen and Fernandes, as well as Anthony Martial for carrying the ball with speed to the edge of the Cottagers' penalty area. However, Casemiro turned defence into attack just moments earlier, with a vital tackle on the half-way line to set the move in motion.
