Elliott Anderson and Kobbie Mainoo started as Tuchel’s chosen double-pivot for last night's friendly against Japan, and boy did they impress!

Anderson has been linked with the Reds for some time now, and the transfer seems imminent.

The Nottingham Forest CM produced 28 passes into the final third, but the disorganised England attack let their side down, and failed to put one past Zion Suzuki (who devoted United fans may remember).

If rumours come to fruition, then the future of the midfield will be in safe hands when Casemiro sadly leaves.
