  • Patrice Evra believes Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is better than Thomas Partey
  • The argument between who is the best between the two continues
  • Casemiro won his first title with Manchester United after starring in the EFL Cup final

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has rubbished claims that Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is better than Brazilian star Casemiro.

Both players are having an outstanding season, with Arsenal sitting top of the English Premier League table while the Red Devils stay in contention of winning the quadruple.

Meanwhile, United's Premier League ambitions were dealt a huge blow after the 7-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday.

While reacting to the defeat on the Joel Beya Podcast, his former teammate Rio Ferdinand raised the age-long debate, which Evra quickly snubbed and almost left the show, before revealing his preference.

"Partey's a good player. He ain't Casemiro, trust me! And if we have Partey on this show one day, he will say, 'Joel [Beya], don't do this to me, man,’” said Evra.

Casemiro has been Manchester United's anchor since arriving from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. The former FC Porto player won his first title with the English giants last month, scoring in the EFL Cup final.

Partey is in his third season with the Gunners, having struggled with injuries in the first two campaigns.

Partey scores in Arsenal's comeback win

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Partey, produced another epic performance as Arsenal came from two goals down to beat Bournemouth at the Emirates.

The Black Stars deputy captain scored to start the fightback and dedicated his goal to late friend and teammate Christian Atsu.

Atsu tragically passed away last month following the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria, which claimed over 50,000 lives.

Ferdinand picks Casemiro over Partey

Former England and Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand believes Casimero is a better player than Ghana midfielder Thomas Partey.

The two midfielders have been in the news for all the right reasons, following their starring roles for their respective clubs in the ongoing season.

Fans on social media have been left divided over who the best defensive midfielder is in the English Premier League, with Casimero and Partey the main names often popping up.
