Manchester United celebrate 4-2 victory over Brighton
Man Utd have won three matches in a row under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Ruben Amorim believes every Manchester United player could learn from Casemiro after his masterclass in their victory over Brighton in the Premier League. The Brazilian midfielder grabbed a goal and an assist as United made it three successive victories for the first time under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Casemiro had to fight to win his role back in the United squad under the Portuguese coach, but is now an integral member of the side and a regular starter in the line up. It is a stark difference to last season, when the 33-year-old was at the bottom of the midfield pecking order and even behind youngster Toby Collyer.
United have a decision to make over his future with Casemiro set to become a free agent when his contract expires at the end of the season. It is unclear whether he will be offered a new short-term deal on reduced terms, but he has certainly done his chances no harm after his recent run of performances.

Amorim praises Casemiro rejuvenation
Casemiro shone for Manchester United in their 4-2 victory over Brighton in the Premier League to continue his rejuvenated run in the starting line up. He set-up compatriot Matheus Cunha for the opening goal of the game and grabbed the second when his ambitious effort deflected off a Brighton player to find the back of the net.
Speaking after the game, Ruben Amorim hailed Casemiro for his contribution and praised the manner in which he has won a place back in the United starting line up.
"I think he gives a lot of experience, and he is an example for everyone," Amorim said in his post-match press conference. "In the beginning, he was behind every midfielder, even Toby (Collyer), but he fought and he worked and now he is back in the national team.
"He is so important for us. He ran a lot; he had to press so high and then return and he is doing that. I am really pleased for him. The other guys need to look at Casemiro. Football can change really fast. You just need to work for me. If I think you are the best one to play a game, you are going to play."
