Erik ten Hag "panic signing" accusations at Man Utd prompt awkward backtracking

Chris Sutton has backtracked and admitted that he got it wrong after claiming that Manchester United midfielder Casemiro was a "panic signing" in the summer.

Casemiro, a multi-time Champions League winner, was one of United's marquee summer signings, joining from Real Madrid in a £60million deal.

Unsurprisingly, the highly-rated Brazilian has excelled since arriving at Old Trafford and has played an influential role in their remarkable rise up the table. After losing their first two matches of the season, Erik ten Hag's side have climbed to third in the Premier League standings following a run of just two defeats in their last 16 outings.
