Manchester United have told Casemiro to stay in Brazil to recover from a small issue sustained on international duty, meaning he misses Saturday’s trip to Sheffield United.
The earliest the midfielder can return is in the home Manchester derby clash on October 29, with his red card against Galatasaray rules him out of the next week’s Champions League clash against Copenhagen.
Meanwhile, three of his teammates are set to be offered new contracts. United have already shaken hands with the likes of Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Diogo Dalot over renewals in 2023 and more are set to be added to that list.
