The prevailing opinion on here seems to be that we have signed Casemiro to replace McTominay, and that Scott will soon be dropped once Casemiro has settled in.
Whilst it is certainly a possibility that the above will happen, what we have in fact seen so far - and what I thought would be the case - is the two of them playing together with one of Eriksen/Bruno. In my view, this is our most balanced and effective midfield, with Fred deputising for McTominay when required.
The oft suggested Casemiro - Eriksen - Bruno midfield looks fragile, lacks a bit of physicality and energy, and Bruno especially is too prone to high risk balls. Casemiro - McTominay - Eriksen has a better balance and structure to it, and I hope that Ten Hag sees things the same way.
