Manchester United finally beat a top-level opponent under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford as they secured a 2-1 win over Chelsea, courtesy of goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. And yet the Portuguese coach should still face hard questions after his side made life hard for themselves despite taking a 2-0 lead against 10 men, following Robert Sanchez's early red card.

Casemiro's agent has revealed the Brazilian's three closest Manchester United team-mates as he has taken new signing under his wings. Since Ruben Amorim's arrival at United, Casemiro has taken on the role of a key veteran in midfield alongside club captain Bruno Fernandes. The Brazilian was linked with a transfer to Saudi Arabia in the summer, but he is happy to continue at Old Trafford.

Brazil eased past Chile with a 3-0 win at the Maracana in World Cup qualifying, but the match was not without controversy. Manchester United star Casemiro was at the centre of attention after appearing to intentionally stamp on Felipe Loyola late in the first half. Despite the ugly challenge, the veteran midfielder escaped with just a yellow card and avoided dismissal.

Casemiro opted to remain at Manchester United over a transfer to Al-Nassr, with the 2026 World Cup a key factor in the Brazilian's decision.

Casemiro has insisted that he is "very happy" at Manchester United, shutting down speculation over his future. The Brazilian midfield general, often painted as a fading star on the wrong side of 30, came out swinging after United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, insisting he remains fully committed to the club.
