Teddy Sheringham compares 'midfield general' Casemiro to former Manchester United captain Roy Keane... and suggests the influential Brazilian felt the need to 'enforce' himself against Crystal Palace leading to his red card

Teddy Sheringham has compared Casemiro to his former Manchester United team-mate Roy Keane, claiming the Brazilian is the midfield general the club had been missing.

Casemiro has been hailed since his £70million move from Real Madrid to United in the summer, with the 30-year-old having played a key role in the Red Devils improvement this season under manager Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United will have to cope without Casemiro for the next three Premier League games, after the Brazilian was shown the first red card of his career against Crystal Palace on Saturday.
