Kobbie Mainoo's rise to prominence has handed Manchester United transfer clarity this summer
Kobbie Mainoo is already at the point in his Manchester United career where he is regarded as a nailed-on starter in the competitive area of centre midfield.
When Erik ten Hag picks his starting line-up for the remaining eight games this season, it will be Mainoo plus one other. Casemiro currently is the partner of choice, and the two have struck up a relationship that kind of works in the centre of the park, the Brazilian's defensive nous and experience complimented by Mainoo's quick feet, ability on the ball and sheer verve.
Eriksen is likely to depart Old Trafford this summer too, another Ten Hag acquisition whose flame shone brightly, but burned out too soon.
"I'd say Paul Scholes," he replied to the question. "Although there might not be a lot defending between the two of us! But, yeah, Scholes. Scholes - definitely. But in the second half of his time at United, Scholes became better suited to a deep-lying playmaker role, which suited his outstanding passing ability and ability to dictate the pace of the game. No one in the Premier League could control the tempo of a match better than Scholes, and no one had a range of passing like the player who earned the nickname 'SatNav'.
