EPL: He’s a leader – Patrice Evra names Man Utd’s ‘main man’ under Ten Hag

By Adeleye Kunle

Former Manchester United left-back, Patrice Evra, has said that midfielder, Casemiro has already established himself as the Red Devils’ ‘main man’ under their manager Erik ten Hag.

Evra said Casemiro, who joined Man United from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, is a leader, adding that every player in the team should be leaning on him on and off the pitch.

Casemiro, who won five Champions League titles at Real Madrid, has quickly become fans’ favourite at Old Trafford.

The 30-year-old scored an injury-time equaliser to ensure Man United drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend and Evra has been impressed by the player’s impact at his former club.

“I keep talking about Casemiro and for me, he’s the main man,” Evra told Betfair. He is the one who is giving the team the right balance and you could see that against Tottenham.

“We dominated, and at the time, I was sure it was a trap and they would counterattack, but we dominated from the first to the last minute and a lot of that was down to Casemiro. He’s the one doing the hard work and now scoring goals.

“You could see that the goal against Chelsea meant a lot to him. I know some people said that they were celebrating like they won the game, but it’s not about that. The moment was about him enjoying everything
