I think I'd start Bruno on the left over Rashford, otherwise yeah same team. God we need a RB, #9 and a LW.
Think I'd go with Sancho left, Bruno in the 10 and Eriksen more on the right

I’ve not really paid much attention to Casemiro when I’ve watched Madrid, which isn’t much more than the odd classico or CL game. But, does he offer much other than tackling?
Yes. In Real, he had Modric and Kroos, so he didn’t need to show more on the ball. But in Brazil, he had no one better than him in midfield on the ball so he showed some ability how to dictate. He also took some free kicks for direct shots in Brazil. Not as good as Alonso or Carrick on the ball but I dare to say better than Kante on the ball.

I feel like this video of him against Liverpool in the CL final sums him up brilliantly.

I'm just wondering why is this only happening now? Has the player only just decided now for a change?

Casemiro for £60M is that right? Real bought Tchouameni for slightly more, no?

Feels like we always buy players at the wrong end/time in their careers

Extra reason to protest at the game on Monday is to make sure we get this deal over the line.

Replacing McTominay with this guy is surely one of the biggest upgrades in football history.
Absolutely spot on. It is nearly impossible to imagine a bigger upgrade in any given position, even theoretically

Unfortunately that really should apply to Sancho and Rashford as well. Hopefully we can get another attacker before the window shuts as well
Take those 2 out of that XI and it wouldn't contain a single English/British player. I'm not against it but that would be strange to see in a United team.

A lot more. And “middle of his career” would be more apt.

In Ole's first full season during that EL run I dreamt of us having now an all English front 3 of Rashford/Greenwood/Sancho

Just sad now we have it how it turned out

I mean hopefully get both but between Casemiro and FDJ we need this guy way more.
Needed this guy since Keane retired
