Gary Neville says Casemiro ‘got absolutely torn to shreds’ in the 1-0 win over Wolves and wants Manchester United to sign Sofyan Amrabat this summer.
Amrabat is not ruling out staying with current club Fiorentina despite transfer interest from the Red Devils, who are working on bringing him to Old Trafford.
Neville feels it is important for United to bring in the Moroccan in the wake of his former club’s disappointing performance in Monday’s victory over Wolves.
Casemiro, who massively impressed last season, had a game to forget and Wolves were unlucky to leave Old Trafford without at least a point.
Speaking after the game, Neville told Sky Sports: ‘They are trying to sign, or were trying to sign, Sofyan Amrabat we believe, to go in there alongside Casemiro.
‘I don’t know [who Erik ten Hag would drop] but they want to buy Sofyan Amrabat for a reason.
‘One thing that Erik ten Hag is not going to do is go back to the likes of Fred and Scott McTominay who he believes are technically not good enough on the ball.

‘He wants everybody in the team to be able to accept the football and receive it. Sofyan Amrabat coming in, he is a passer of the ball and can sit in there alongside Casemiro.
‘Casemiro got absolutely torn to shreds tonight. Man Utd’s midfield were non-existent and they were absolutely ripped apart. Wolves were absolutely fantastic. Manchester United’s midfield was non-existent, it emptied. That would have been a real worry for Erik ten Hag.
‘Wolves were brilliant tonight, they had everything but a goal. Manchester United were outplayed and can feel very fortunate to come away with three points because they didn’t deserve it.’
