Man Utd midfielder Eriksen: Casemiro brings a lot of calmness

Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen has praised his teammate Casemiro for the qualities that he has brought to the club - not least the mentality that helped bring about his last minute equaliser at Chelsea on Sunday.

However, the Dane joked that he was disappointed that the former Real Madrid ace broke his goal duck for the Red Devils before him.

"I was very pleased for him, although he's quicker than me to get his first goal!" Eriksen told the club's official website.

"He's a good guy for the club and I think he's settled very well. You can see on the pitch he's showing his quality.

"He brings a lot of calmness and a lot of experience at the same time.

"He's played a lot of games and won a lot of trophies in his career. He knows how football will be played and he reads the game well, and he's got good rhythm on the ball, so we're in a good place."
