Casemiro is expected to make his Manchester United debut this weekend against Southampton.
Erik ten Hag is set to clarify that the new £70 million signing is able to play against St Mary’s on Saturday, giving the manager a bit of a selection issue.
Christian Eriksen and Scott McTominay started as the central midfield duo against Liverpool, but any player might be benched if Ten Hag wishes to give Casemiro a start.
Anthony Martial, who made a successful comeback from injury, might possibly earn a starting spot. Cristiano Ronaldo is another player vying for a spot in the starting lineup.
Victor Lindelof is the only senior player out injured for United, leaving Raphael Varane to Lisandro Martinez free to form a defensive partnership ahead of Harry Maguire.
Ten Hag will address the media on Friday to discuss his plans for the lunchtime kick-off.
Predicted Manchester United XI: De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia; Casemiro, McTominay; Sancho, Fernandes, Martial; Rashford
