Paul Scholes admits Casemiro has already proved him wrong after Man Utd start

Paul Scholes admitted he was surprised by Casemiro's range of passing after Manchester United's 2-0 Europa League win against Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday evening.

Erik ten Hag's side won their first European game of the season in Moldova thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo. Casemiro came on for Scott McTominay at half-time and put in a solid display to help the visitors maintain their lead.

The Brazil international, 30, was signed by United from Real Madrid in August. He is regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, helping Real win three La Liga titles and five Champions Leagues during his nine-year spell in the Spanish capital.
