Apparently we have approached him as far back as LVG. He said himself he had spoken to every Utd manager since then, but the circumstances weren't always ideal to make the switch to Old Trafford. I was gutted when he went to Inter at the time.

He has been instrumental, especially this last game against Arsenal.

The first goal - all eleven players made 18 passes in total, from front to back and to the front again.... but it was his pass to Bruno that took out five Arsenal players in one fell swoop, and sliced them open for Bruno to bring it forward to Sancho, Rashford and finally Antony....

And then again from out of defence to Bruno, who made a peach of a pass for Rashford's first...

And of course making that forward run to assist Rashford's second...

This trident of McTominay/Eriksen/Bruno is working. McTom the defensive one, Eriksen providing the link from defence to Bruno.

Gotta say McTominay has been great the past few matches too. Always turning up as a third centreback, beside being part of that trident. Guess that's why ten Hag has stuck with him and Casemiro has to warm the bench for now.

Good observation n analysis ...but wonder if they hv wasted money bringing casemiro in if Mctom is so good ...just like last time OGS brought in Sancho from Dortmund at such a exorbitant price only to underform n benched n not played in most matches
