Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag must be braced for questions over summer signing Casemiro depending on the result against Manchester City this Sunday afternoon.
With bragging rights up for grabs for the first time this season, United are set to visit the Etihad Stadium and do so following four straight Premier League wins. During that stretch, midfielders Scott McTominay and Christian Eriksen have formed an impressive partnership in the engine room with Bruno Fernandes operating as No.10.
Going up against star-studded City will tempt Ten Hag into deploying Casemiro in a more defence-minded system, according to pundit Danny Murphy. Casemiro has yet to start in the Premier League since his move from Real Madrid for an initial €60million this summer window.
