Scott McTominay has lauded Manchester United's signings of midfielder Casemiro and defender Lisandro Martinez this summer.

Casemiro was officially unveiled earlier this week after completing his £60m switch from Real Madrid and he is Erik ten Hag's fourth signing at the club. Casemiro was named on the bench against Southampton but he played the final 10 minutes in the match.

The signing of Casemiro, 30, has been widely praised, with the defensive midfielder bringing a wealth of experience to Old Trafford. Casemiro is a world-class defensive midfielder and he has won five Champions League titles in his illustrious career.

McTominay, speaking after United beat Southampton 1-0 on Saturday, was asked about the Reds' new signings and he lavished the praise on Casemiro and Martinez, who started alongside Raphael Varane at centre-back at St. Mary's stadium.

The 25-year-old explained that Casemiro, in particular, has impressed United's dressing room in training this week.

"We have to make sure the team spirit keeps lifting," McTominay told MUTV. "The guys that we've brought in, Casemiro and Lisandro [Martinez], they're doing an amazing job in training, obviously we just want them to settle as quickly as possible.

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

"It's great to have him, we love him and Linsadro, Tyrell [Malacia] as well. The guys that we have brought in are doing a great job and long may that continue."
