With Bruno Fernandes suspended for this weekend's clash against Aston Villa - after the Portuguese star picked up his fifth Premier League booking of the season last week - Manchester United are likely to start both Casemiro and Fred against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon.
Fernandes will serve a one-match suspension after being shown a yellow card in the important 1-0 win over West Ham, meaning the midfielder will be out for the game against Unai Emery's side. The 28-year-old has been impressive this term, despite scoring just two goals so far. He has played every minute for the Reds in the Premier League, and will be a big miss at the weekend.
Erik ten Hag, then, will be forced into making an unwanted change against Villa - but he certainly isn't short on options. Several players will be pushing to start in place of Fernandes, but Fred is expected to come in and start.
