Former Manchester United player Paul Scholes admitted he has been pleasantly surprised by Casemiro's passing ability since his summer arrival from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Casemiro, 30, was snapped up by Erik ten Hag for an initial €60million to address long-standing issues in that area. However, despite the outlay, the Brazilian has been made to wait for his chance in the team.
Starting for the first time in the Premier League against Everton last Sunday, Casemiro made a telling impact when providing an assist for Cristiano Ronaldo to score the winner. It was a contribution which came as a shock to United favourite Scholes given Casemiro's preceding reputation from Spain.
