One Twitter user wrote: "Fantastic performance by him. Done the shielding role to a tee."

A second tweeted: "So many hate on McTominay, This guy has been good... Keep it going Lad Erik is cooking..."

A third added: "Best game I've seen him have for United."

Another commented: "Been super since the Liverpool game."

We signed Casemiro and Mctominay is playing like prime Busquets eiii

I'm even enjoying watching Mctominay, Ten Hag is working miracles with these players

McTominay has been fucking incredible. His tackling, interceptions, dribbling ect has been class. Such a good performance so far

— Jack (@_McSauce_) September 1, 2022

McTominay's recent form comes after Man United have snapped up Casemiro, who has yet to start a game since his move from Real Madrid.

But the 25-year-old is learning off the experienced Brazilian ahead of potentially playing together in midfield.

"To learn from someone like him [Casemiro], who has done pretty much everything in the game, is amazing. His mentality, the way that he is so firm with everything that he does," he said.

"He’s an amazing footballer who can help us so much and be one of our main players."

Casemiro made his second appearance for Man United against Leicester and starred in midfield alongside McTominay and Eriksen.

Could Ten Hag start with the midfield that ended the game at the King Power Stadium for the match against Arsenal? Watch this space.
