Casemiro’s last game came in Man United’s 2-1 win over Brentford. However, Casemiro came off at half-time when Brentford were winning 1-0. Casemiro picked up an injury whilst playing for Brazil on international duty. Since then, Man Utd have won all of their games.
Before the Brentford game, Man United experienced back-to-back defeats. Man United’s last defeat came at home to Galatasaray in the Champions League which marked 6 defeats in their opening 10 games of the season.
Man United are now on a run of 3 straight wins heading into one of the most important games of their season – the Manchester derby.
Erik Ten Hag gave an update earlier today whether the Brazilian would feature in Sunday’s game. Ten Hag said that: “Casemiro has a race against the clock.”
Back up defensive midfielder Scott Mctominay is in good form scoring 3 goals in his last two Premier League appearances. The decision will be tough for Ten Hag whether he goes for form or experience ahead of the derby.
Man Utd could go up to 6th in the table if results go their way and Manchester City will be hoping Crystal Palace can holt Spurs for they could go top with a win against Man Utd.
Man United won 2-1 the last time these sides met at Old Trafford through a controversial Bruno Fernandes goal. However, Man City got the last laugh as they defeated Man United 2-1 in May to lift the FA Cup.
