Paul Scholes has suggested that Manchester United have improved since the start of the season because of the signing of Casemiro.
The Brazilian international, who scored his first goal for the club against Chelsea on Saturday, heading home a stoppage-time equaliser, joined United from Real Madrid for an initial fee of £60million in August. The Reds had chased Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong for more than 100 days but turned to Casemiro once they knew they were getting nowhere with their pursuit of the Dutchman.
Despite making his first few United appearances from the bench, the vastly experienced midfield ace has become a permanent fixture in Erik ten Hag's plans in recent weeks, starting each of the Reds' last seven matches, including Thursday night's Europa League clash with Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford.
