Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has hinted that he could recall Casemiro to play alongside Christian Eriksen in midfield for the visit of Brentford this afternoon.
The Reds are likely to be without the services of Kobbie Mainoo this weekend after he suffered a muscular issue in the clashes with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa.
The injury to his hamstring flared up during the heavy loss to Spurs at Old Trafford and led to Mainoo sitting out the draw in Porto.
He returned for the goalless clash with Villa the following Sunday and lasted 85 minutes before being substituted. Having been called up to Lee Carsley's England squad, Mainoo had to withdraw to tend to the injury and it is now expected he will be out for as many as seven matches while he recovers.
