Erik ten Hag has a ‘Casemiro problem’. Man Utd cannot afford to rest the Brazilian, who was famously in and out of a trophy-hoarding Real Madrid side...

But there is concern that ‘that’s increasingly only the case when Casemiro is on the pitch’. And Man Utd are indeed far better when their best player is playing. But this idea that Casemiro’s brilliance is an issue because Ten Hag simply cannot properly rest the knackered 31-year-old is ever so slightly flawed. The Brazilian has played at least 40 games a season in seven of the last eight full campaigns, the exception being the 35 matches he managed in a positively barren 2015/16. He ranks fifth for minutes played at Man Utd this season; he was fifth, second, first, sixth and second for Real Madrid in the last five seasons.
