Beaten Reading boss Paul Ince joined in the praise for Casemiro and claimed Erik ten Hag is taking Manchester United back to the big time.
Brazilian star Casemiro bagged a brilliant second half double to finally break Reading resistance and fire United into the FA Cup fifth round with a 3-1 cruise. Ince said: “He’s a Champions League winner, a great player but what he does against Reading doesn’t matter.
“As a United player it’s what you do against the big clubs and when I played that’s what we had in Roy Keane and Bryan Robson. I’ll be honest, If we’d played United a year ago I’d have fancied our chances. They’d lost their presence and a lot of clubs felt they could get something here.
