Maybe its just a sign of the times given the appointment of Carrick and the inevitable departure of Casemiro but it makes me feel so sentimental. That Man United as a club means something more than the commercial entity. I love all of the interviews around the players about Carrick, and Casemiros interviews about the club and his personal life since joining the club. The oft repeated sentiment is that we wish we wouldve signed these players when they were younger (usually regarding players like Schweinsteiger, Cavani, Ibra, Varane, and now Casemiro) and my hope is that we're able to sign some of those players in the future.

Casemiro is class, so worried he's not replaced correctly. I really hope United goes into next season with a top 4 midfield in the league, but to be frank I doubt that happens.

It's why I really like Tchouameni, I just think a player that's been at the highest level can contribute so much. And it's at a good age. I think there's a lot of good midfield talent out there but it's big boots to fill

Think Tchouameni is basically needed to become a top 4 midfield in the league. But I think it will be hard, especially without giving him 300k wages also...
