Erik ten Hag 'may be forced to pick between Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen'

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag should consider starting Casemiro ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday.

That's an opinion held by Danny Murphy, who believes the Dutchman must get his midfield selection spot on as the Red Devils try and record their first win against Manchester City since the 2020/21 season. Pep Guardiola's men did the double over their city rivals last term and secured a 4-1 victory when the two teams last met back in March.

Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez grabbed a brace each, while Jadon Sancho scored the Red Devils' only goal as City recorded a comfortable win at the Etihad Stadium. However, United are a different proposition nowadays under Ten Hag and they are searching for their fifth successive Premier League victory.
