(Video) Casemiro was desperate to get back on the pitch in Manchester derby

Casemiro did not want to be off the pitch for even a minute in Saturday’s tightly-contested Manchester derby. 

The Brazilian has been instrumental to Manchester United’s outstanding form this season and is an irreplaceable figure at the heart of United’s midfield.

He is part of the reason the Red Devils have lost just one match in 19 games and his defensive abilities, as well as exceptional passing, set him aside from any other midfielder in the Premier League right now.
