Erik ten Hag explains Casemiro snub as Man Utd new boy Antony handed debut vs Arsenal

Erik ten Hag has admitted Casemiro has got to get used to his style of play before he earns his first Manchester United start after the Brazilian was named on the bench for their clash with Arsenal.

The Red Devils are searching for their fourth successive Premier League win after beating Liverpool, Southampton and Leicester City, and, unsurprisingly, Ten Hag has made just one change to his starting XI. £86million signing Antony has come in for Anthony Elanga, with Jadon Sancho expected to move across to the left-side.

However, the main question mark from his selection is that Casemiro starts as a substitute for the third consecutive game following his £70m arrival from Real Madrid. Scott McTominay has kept his place once again, with Ten Hag sticking with the same midfield with the Scotland international alongside Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen.
