Fred believes he is a better player when paired alongside Casemiro after he produced arguably his best performance for Manchester United in the win against Tottenham.
The Brazilian midfield colleagues started for the third successive game, but this was the night when the Erik ten Hag era had lift-off and Fred and Casemiro were at the heart of it.
It was a complete performance from United, but it was driven by Fred, who had a greater licence to get forward with the protection afforded by a top-level defensive midfielder.
