Casemiro has “watched everything” in football over the past month as he patiently waited for his four-game domestic suspension at Manchester United to be served.
The Brazil international was handed a four-game ban following his dismissal against Southampton in last month’s goalless Premier League encounter, his second red of the campaign. He missed the subsequent wins over Fulham, Brentford and Everton, along with the defeat at Newcastle, and now he is back.
Casemiro joined United in a £70million deal last summer to end a trophy-laden nine years at Real Madrid – where he won five Champions League crowns at the base of a midfield alongside Toni Kroos and Luka Modric. The trio formed a formidable partnership that largely dominated Europe.
