Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves both believe that Casemiro is Manchester United's most important midfielder and should start every game going forward.
United defeated Tottenham 2-0 on Wednesday night in a galvanising performance, the best of Erik ten Hag's reign by some distance. A dominant display saw them create enough chances to win five matches but they eventually got the all-important goals through a deflected Fred effort and a stunning Bruno Fernandes strike.
It has been a whirlwind week for Fred who was dreadful against Newcastle and missed a sitter to win the game but put in a Player of the Match display against Spurs thanks to his explorative passing and high energy as well as his opening goal. The 29-year-old looked right at home next to his international teammate Casemiro and, while believing Fred deserves credit, Owen says it's the former Real Madrid man who helped the midfield tick.
