Why Casemiro is the man to complete Christian Eriksen's Manchester United challenge

While Cristiano Ronaldo had only scored three goals in all competitions prior to his departure from Manchester United, his exit from Old Trafford increases the pressure on Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Antony to consistently get on the scoresheet.

United, who have scored 20 Premier League goals so far this season, have somewhat struggled in front of goal, especially in comparison to their fellow top-four challengers. Current league-leaders Arsenal have registered 33 goals, while Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have scored 40, 31 and 28 respectively.

Rashford is currently the Reds' top goalscorer with eight goals in 19 appearances. However, Martial, who sits in second place, has only found the back of the net on four occasions. Erik ten Hag's side have also conceded a worrying amount of goals in the top flight, and yet, the club still sits in a healthy position in the league table, while also still competing in all relevant cup competitions.
