The Brazil international has had an injury-plagued campaign with the Red Devils. He has suffered two setbacks and is currently on the sidelines.

However, he may not be far away from first-team action, considering he has started working individually to build his fitness.

Casemiro could be weeks away from joining the team in full training, but his availability would be a massive boost for United.

The Red Devils have been defensively vulnerable at different stages of the campaign and they conceded three goals to Bournemouth recently.

Sofyan Amrabat looked an isolated figure in the centre of the park for United with Scott McTominay being out of position regularly.

Kobbie Mainoo is a talented defensive midfielder in the squad, but United are craving for the leadership and presence of Casemiro in the role.

His return would be a massive plus for the back end of the season.
