Rio Ferdinand believes Manchester United found out what Casemiro will bring to the fold following his first Premier League start in Sunday night's 2-1 win over Everton at Goodison Park.
The Brazilian international was preferred to Scott McTominay in the defensive-midfield berth, retaining his place from Thursday night's 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League. McTominay had started every Premier League game since Casemiro's arrival.
The 30-year-old produced an up-and-down performance, featuring both good and bad moments. He was guilty of losing possession in the build-up to Alex Iwobi's fifthminute opener for the hosts but grew into the game as it developed.
