Manchester United fans have been left in two minds after Casemiro picked up a one-match suspension meaning he will miss the Arsenal clash at the weekend.
The Brazilian midfielder picked up the inconvenient booking in the 80th minute of Wednesday's clash with Crystal Palace following a challenge on Wilfried Zaha. Casemiro's frustration at being booked was clear to see but the Reds man could have no complaints with the decision.
United now face a selection dilemma for the trip to Arsenal at the weekend. Fred has been heavily involved in recent weeks and seems to be the most likely replacement for Casemiro.

Scott McTominay could also drop into the defensive midfield position, allowing Bruno Fernandes to start on the wing, where he was deployed during the Manchester derby. McTominay has not started regularly recently but he did start during the 3-1 victory over the Gunners in September.
The Scot featured in a defensive midfield duo alongside Christian Eriksen as a goal from Antony and a brace from Marcus Rashford secured the three points at Old Trafford. United did bring Casemiro on that day for the final ten minutes in place of Rashford as they looked to shut up shop and hold onto their advantage.
While some Reds fans are still optimistic about their chances of beating Arsenal, citing that victory at the Theatre of Dreams as a reason why they can still be victorious this time around, others have been left feeling down about Casemiro's suspension.
