<p>Partey and Casemiro have both been in sensational form for Arsenal and Manchester United, respectively, this season.</p>

<p>The aforementioned midfielders faced each other several times in the Madrid derby in Spain, when Partey played for Atletico Madrid and Casemiro lined up for Real Madrid.</p>

<p>And the two will once again cross paths in the Premier League this Sunday as Arsenal prepare to host Manchester United at the Emirates.</p>

<p>Ferdinand acknowledged the importance of both players to their teams, but said Casemiro is on another level.</p>

<p><em>“I think the importance to their teams…you could argue both sides quite equally. But then, when you through the stats in Casemiro wipes him away,”&nbsp;</em>the former Manchester United defender said on his podcast, as quoted by the Daily Mail.</p>

<p><em>“No, no no. I don’t think Partey is good enough defensively to do what Casemiro is doing, I don’t think he has the impact defensively for Man United, on the ball he’s doing more.”</em></p>

<p><em>“On the ball, he’s [Partey] doing more. He’s dictating play for Arsenal. He’s actually playing passes I didn’t know he had. His passing has been unbelievable.”</em></p>

<p>Arsenal are currently nine points above Manchester United on the Premier League table and could further extend their lead at the top if they beat the Red Devils this weekend.</p>

<p>Also, the Gunners will be hoping to enact some revenge, with their only loss in the league this season at the hands of Eric ten Hag’s side.&nbsp;</p>
