Erik ten Hag explains why Casemiro is the player Manchester United have been looking for

Erik ten Hag has described Manchester United's new signing Casemiro as the "cement between the stones" following the 30-year-old's Old Trafford unveiling.

The former Real Madrid man was introduced to the Old Trafford crowd ahead of United's clash with Liverpool on Monday night. Casemiro was warmly received by those in the stands as well as those on media duties.

Roy Keane, who was working for Sky Sports for the game, shared a hug with the Brazilian after he had completed a small lap of the pitch to applaud the fans. Casemiro would have been extremely pleased with what he witnessed from his new teammates as United secured their first victory of the season.
