'He's The Cement Between The Stones': Ten Hag Hails Casemiro As The Player He's Happy To Have

Ten Hag on Casemiro's impact: "That is quite obvious. I said it from the beginning, this team, needed a No.6. Control, holding midfielder, he is so important. He is the cement between the stones."

"Defence, knows his position, points others into position, winning balls, duels mainly, in possession he can speed up the game. We are really happy to have him on board."

Casemiro moved to United in the summer from Real Madrid in a transfer projected to reach £70m. He has since become an integral part of the squad.

The Brazilian has made 24 appearances, scoring two goals and assisting three. He should start against Man City on Saturday.
