Man Utd boss Ten Hag already has next Casemiro as Carabao Cup footage speaks volumes

After making his United debut in January, starting the 3-0 win against Charlton Athletic at Old Trafford, Mainoo explained the honour of learning from Casemiro first-hand.

He said: “I’ve been in training with the lads quite a few times. They all made me feel welcome, and all gave me words of advice and encouragement. So I felt at home.

“To be able to follow Casemiro closely and watch him in training is an honour, and for him to come on for me is crazy.

“I looked at the teamsheet, and I was starting. I was a bit shocked, but I had to do my job. Yeah, there were some butterflies, but it was more exciting.”
