The Red Devils were already planning to strengthen in the engine room before it was announced that Casemiro would be departing in the summer. The five-time Champions League winner is set to wave goodbye to Old Trafford upon the expiry of his current contract. Mateus Fernandes could be the perfect choice to replace Casemiro next seasonThe former Southampton playmaker was equally impressive in possession, completing 89 per cent of his passes with 10 of those being in the final third.
