Casemiro might miss Man Utd vs Arsenal fixture, see why.

 

Manchester United have been in exceptional form this season, having put together their ninth consecutive victory in Saturday’s Manchester derby.

If United beat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Wednesday night as expected, next Sunday’s encounter against the Gunners could be a defining moment in the title race.

However, United could be without some key players for the Arsenal clash.

United could lose Casemiro and Fred:

United could be without Brazilian midfield duo Casemiro and Fred for their weekend encounter with Arsenal.

If either player picks up a booking in their midweek encounter in south London, they will be suspended for the Gunners clash.

Indeed, this is because Premier league rules state that players must serve a one-match ban if they earn five bookings in their first 19 league outings. Yellow cards are not carried over to the Carabao Cup or FA Cup.

At present Casemiro and Fred will both be on four yellow cards when they take on Palace.

Losing Casemiro in particular would be a major blow for Ten Hag’s side. The summer signing has been a transformative figure at Old Trafford; the world-class holding midfielder United have been craving for over a decade.
