Luke Shaw has underlined the importance of Casemiro to Manchester United as the midfielder returns to the starting line-up for Thursday’s trip to Barcelona.
The Brazilian international star has been suspended for the last two United games in the Premier League following his straight red card against Crystal Palace. He will also sit out this weekend’s home clash against Leicester in the final game of his ban.
However, this has allowed the midfielder to rest and he will be restored to the starting line-up for United’s trip to the Camp Nou on Thursday. With the absences of Scott McTominay, Christian Eriksen and Marcel Sabitzer, Casemiro’s return is a most welcome one.
