Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson believes that Casemiro's pedigree before moving to Old Trafford stands him in good stead to become a leader at the club.

Manchester United hero Dimitar Berbatov has picked out Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic as an ideal transfer alternative to Harry Kane or Victor Osimhen.
Having allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Old Trafford mid-season, United are playing the waiting game with finding his longer-term successor. Osimhen, 24, is drawing firm interest in response to his staggering output at Napoli, while United are also monitoring Kane given his contract expires in 2024.
Should those two prove unattainable, would Vlahovic fit the bill after 12 months with Juventus? He effectively replaced Ronaldo in Turin. The Serbian, 22, has scored 19 goals from 41 games in all competitions since moving from Fiorentina.

And Berbatov, comparing the three strikers as part of a Betfred promotion, said: "Vlahovic is very young and still has a lot to prove, but his goalscoring record is great. That's why Juventus paid so much money for him.
"If you want a quick striker, you go for Osimhen, because he's unbelievably quick. If you want a striker that has a history of producing many goals in the Premier League, then you go for Harry Kane because he's broken many records and has won three Golden Boots.
"If you want somebody a bit younger, then you could go for Dusan Vlahovic. It all depends on Erik ten Hag's plan. Manchester United might not sign any of these three players, they could opt to sign somebody else."
