Paul Scholes reveals what surprised him about Casemiro's first start for Manchester United

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has warned Casemiro that he faces a waiting game to force his way into Erik ten Hag's preferred starting line-up.

The Brazilian was dropped to the bench for Thursday evening's Europa League clash with Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova, despite starting their Group E opener against Real Sociedad last week. It was his first start for the club after signing from Real Madrid last month.

However, following the postponement of this coming Sunday's scheduled clash with Leeds United, manager Erik ten Hag opted to almost revert back to the starting line-up that has recently served United well in the Premier League, making five changes from the defeat to Sociedad. Scott McTominay was recalled to the side at the Brazilian's expense.
