GRAEME SOUNESS: Casemiro is the key to Manchester United's resurgence. The Brazilian plugged a gaping hole in midfield and is a very good all-round footballer - but I still don't think he's world class!

When Casemiro signed for Manchester United in August, I called him a "Steady Eddie". Maybe this gave the impression that I did not think he was up to much. I tell you, I would have been more than happy to be called a "Steady Eddie".

It would mean I was consistent, doing something well every week that would get me a 7 or 7.5 out of 10 - that is what I see in Casemiro. For me, he's the single biggest reason why the team have settled down and go into today's Manchester derby having won their last eight in all competitions.
