Erik ten Hag has piled the praise on Casemiro after his winning goal for Manchester United in their FA Cup fifth round win over Nottingham Forest. The Brazilian midfielder was taken off during the weekend defeat to Fulham but returned to the starting line-up for the crucial clash on Wednesday night.
Casemiro netted the 11th goal of his United career when he turned in a Bruno Fernandes free-kick in the 89th minute to secure the victory for his side and set up a quarter-final tie with Liverpool.
It was the latest in a string of important goals he has scored during his time at the club and Ten Hag is delighted to have him back available again.

REACTION: Full-time scenes give United hope
Casemiro missed 17 matches through injury earlier in the season and Ten Hag doesn't think it is any surprise that his side's form suffered as a result of his absence.
"He is a fantastic football player," Ten Hag told reporters after the Forest win. "He scored so many goals for us. I think he scored more goals than he has ever done in his whole career for United.
"It is great to have a player like Casemiro in your squad, your team. You see how important he is for us. When he is not there, like in October, November, December, January, you really miss him. He sets some structures in the team. His leadership makes us play better and also the quality he has on the ball, of course."
