, they have lost three league matches and he didn’t start two of them. It is damning him unfairly with weak praise to conclude that Manchester United’s midfield has merely been dragged into the present day, but it’s also true.
Now with Casemiro, control is the whole of the law because he is everything; his fingerprints lie over every teammate. An hour into Sunday’s final I realised that I’d forgotten Christian Eriksen exists. Suddenly it’s just Casemiro plus one. That became the mantra for a new age of Manchester United. If there was one trait that all of the most successful Class of ‘92 shared, it was not extraordinary innate talent but an ability to squeeze the most out of the talent they had through practice. Eric taught them that.Casemiro’s signing now has a Cantona twinge, albeit we must beware leaping into the land of wild hyperbole.
There are reasons for regret too. On one of the many trains back north on Sunday evening, supporters sang and cheered but also bemoaned what might have been if their club had tried to fix this central midfield issue in any of the last three summers.
