Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hailed the arrival of Brazil midfielder Casemiro at the club.

Casemiro moved to United from Real Madrid with the Red Devils paying £70m for the 30-year-old.

The player was paraded in front of the Old Trafford faithful ahead of Monday night’s win over Liverpool.
