Watching Casemiro in front of martinez and Varane will be very exciting. That’s a solid spine that.

Despite McTominay having a solid game tonight, you'd imagine Casemiro will slot into that role next to Eriksen, who will be more the ball playing midfielder.

I do worry that we have a lack of deep-lying ball players, though. Following his promising pre season, I'd be inclined to use Iqbal to rotate with Eriksen in that role.

Bruno/Van de Beek
Eriksen/Iqbal - Casemiro/McTominay​

You'd imagine it'l be Fred instead of Iqbal, but I just think we need that balance of workrate and quality, which we won't necessarily get with a pivot of Casemiro and Fred.

Love that. You can see the mutual respect, Keane clearly rates him very highly and is giving him some nice words. He knows as much as anybody that doing the dirty work in midfield is vital.

That was a great introduction to the club for Case, made him feel special and very welcome, but also showed just what United can do for him too.

When Old Trafford is rocking like that, not many better places to be. With guys like this in CM we should be getting team performances like that more regularly.

I really hope we get a partner for him before the window shuts.
Only one person I want for that role and most UK journos bar Sky's deadly duo have said they are confident it won't happen, how I want the reliable ones to be badly wrong on this.

Another thing is there's something concerning with the balance when both Fred and Bruno are in the same lineup. Both are so cheap with possession, feel we can only afford to have one on the pitch.

Where are the photos and videos of him in club kit playing the piano?

Come on, club media, you are slacking!

Just watched his best goals for Real, this guy has a fantastic shot from distance. He actually averages a goal every 9 games for Real in the league which is great for a DM. Absolutely buzzing to watch him bossing our midfield. Can't believe the odd negative comment on this transfer, DM was literally our biggest glaring hole for the last 5 years and we go and sign the best DM in the world in his prime and some folks are still moaning. Madness.

It's encouraging how many players likely to play around him fall on the cusp compatibility chart: Fred (Pisces), Lindelof (Cancer), Maguire (Pisces).

This could well be the making of a fantastic squad, especially if we add Antony, another Pisces, to add to the mix.
I don't rate Lindelöf but I wouldn't call him a cancer
