Casemiro arrived at Manchester United on Monday afternoon ahead of the official unveiling of his transfer from Real Madrid.

A £70million deal has been agreed for the 30-year-old midfielder to move to Old Trafford after he accepted a switch to Erik ten Hag’s ailing side.

Casemiro will watch the Premier League game from the stands after admitting his disappointment at not being able to play against the Reds.
