Manchester United star returns to starting line up after injury and scores goal for country

Manchester United were left with many takeaways from a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur last weekend. The more negative ones, however, would have been the apparent injury blows to several personnel, including Benjamin Sesko, Harry Maguire and Casemiro. Earlier today, CentreDevils exclusively revealed that the medical staff and coaches made the decision to take Sesko off against Spurs rather than the player himself. It’s likely that head coach Ruben Amorim will address his status ahead of the upcoming game against Everton. Casemiro made way for Manuel Ugarte in the 72nd minute and the midfield struggled from them on in the game. Many feared it could be something worrisome, leaving a sour taste in the mouths of United fans as players dispersed for international duty. Now those concerns have been allayed. Those injury worries were put to bed today as Casemiro started in midfield for Brazil in a 2-0 victory over Senegal at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. Following an opening goal from Estevao in the 28th minute, Casemiro himself doubled the lead only 7 minutes later with an impressive curled finish from a tight angle, following a set piece. If any doubts had persisted around the midfielder’s fitness problems going into the match, they were dispelled before the half time break. Casemiro’s fitness will come as a big boost for the Brazilian national team, who will be hoping to keep the midfield veteran fit for their upcoming 2026 World Cup campaign. Crucially, however, it also marks a huge relief for Ruben Amorim who will be hoping to keep United’s midfield options as plentiful as possible to make the most of a favourable run of games leading up to Christmas. United currently sit at 7th in the Premier League table after picking up 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 matches, which has been contributed to by Casemiro’s revival in form this season. Despite the Brazilian’s significant drop off in form during last season’s dismal campaign, Casemiro’s improved performances have been a significant highlight of Ruben Amorim’s tenure as United manager so far. With Amorim looking for his midfield to step up, Casemiro’s fitness and international form will come as a welcome sight.
