"I look at United's season, they are in the top four, they won the Carabao Cup and they are in the FA Cup final. I genuinely don't think they would be anywhere near top four or doing what they are doing in those competitions without Casemiro."He makes them 30 per cent better."

He is a warrior, he is a leader, and when you think of that spine, he and Casemiro have made a big difference.
"So I apologise to Lisandro Martinez. Manchester United fans please stop tweeting me!"
