Paul Scholes believes Casemiro will play an "invaluable" role in Manchester United's midfield after the Brazilian made his debut against Southampton on Saturday afternoon.
The 30-year-old international, who has taken Scholes' famous No.18 shirt at Old Trafford, came on in the 80th minute at St Mary's to help Erik ten Hag's side complete a 1-0 victory away from home. That was United's second Premier League win of the season.
Midfield has been United's weakest department for several years, with many critics highlighting their need for a defensive midfielder. Despite his age, it's hoped Casemiro will fulfil that role over the next few years after his £60million move from Real Madrid.
