Man United have confirmed that Casemiro will miss Saturday's Premier League trip to Bramall Lane with an injury problem.
Manchester United will have to make do without midfield enforcer Casemiro when they travel to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United on Saturday evening.
Unlike last season, however, his absence might not be felt as hard this time around, with his recent performances proving well below his usual high standards. He has regressed this season, failing to dominate proceedings in midfield in the same way he did last term. The obvious replacement Drafted in on transfer deadline day to provide both cover and competition for Casemiro in the defensive-midfield berth, the stage is set for Sofyan Amrabat to become destroyer-in-chief. He started in one of the two holding midfield roles against Brentford last time out, being deployed alongside Casemiro.
The Scot, however, is not a like-for-like replacement for Casemiro, meaning he cannot be tasked with sitting deep and providing a layer of defensive protection for the back-four behind him. It would, alternatively, be sensible for him to play just ahead of Amrabat. The worst case scenario Though Sergio Reguilon, who joined United on loan from Tottenham Hotspur last month, has trained ahead of the clash with the Blades, it may be possible that he is not in a strong enough position to start. He has missed the last four games through a mixture of illness and injury.
