🗞 A factor in Casemiro accepting #mufc's offer was the fact that he was benched last weekend with Tchouaméni starting. [@JBurtTelegraph]

Erik ten Hag: "We work from game to game. We know what is going on when you play against Liverpool, especially when you are #mufc, so yeah, you have to be ready." #mulive

Erik ten Hag on the mentality: "It starts with yourself. Follow the rules and principles and work hard. If you do that, you will get confidence." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "No, it's not difficult to motivate this team. They worked really good on the training pitch from the start of the season." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: " A lot went wrong [against Brentford], but you don't have to talk about anything when the attitude is not right." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "I know the rivalry [between #mufc and Liverpool], we are the rivals and we have to win every game, but especially this game." #mulive

Erik ten Hag: "I don't know why he [Ronaldo] is in focus after Saturday. It was the team performance and the whole's team attitude, including Ronaldo." #mulive

Erik ten Hag on protests from #mufc fans: "I can only say, the owners want to win. We want the fans behind the team. I am not that long at the club I can see all the background. We have to fight together." #mulive [@lauriewhitwell]

Manchester United have been looking at Lisandro Martinez in a defensive midfield role over the last week, with a view to potentially playing him in that role against Liverpool. [@MiguelDelaney] #MUFC

Joel Glazer, who virtually every decision at Manchester United has to go through, is especially unwilling to sanction the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo. He greatly values Ronaldo’s commercial profile. [@MiguelDelaney] #MUFC

🚨 - JUST IN: Antony was seen at the club today but did NOT train, one day after Ajax refused Manchester United’s offer. [@MikeVerweij]

Manchester United are making progress on signing Sergino Dest. [@MiguelDelaney] #MUFC

Casemiro to Man United, here we go! Real Madrid accepted all details of the bid, clubs preparing contracts right now. €60m fixed fee, €10m add-ons 🚨🔴🇧🇷 #MUFC Casemiro has full agreement on four year deal, option until 2027. Medical and then visa to be sorted during weekend.

Carlo Ancelotti: "I've talked to Casemiro. He wants to try a new challenge — we have to respect his desire. Nothing is official but it is his will [to leave]." #mulive [@elchiringuitotv[

🚨🎖| BREAKING: Casemiro has agreed personal terms with Manchester United. @samuelluckhurst

again, another problem is that hes not exactly the profile of player we need (though a massive upgrade obviously) we still need a midfielder who can progress the ball effectively. that is our problem and why we can't build up from the back properly. casemiro at madrid had two of the best midfielders at controlling the midfield and progressing the play (kroos and modric)

would mean the end of our de jong pursuit surely

on paper signing casemiro is a very good signing. hes still 30, has some years to go, and improves our team massively in a position we had no one in. concerns still remain though. his form was quite patchy last year (according to madrid fans)
