Good news for Manchester United and Erik ten Hag. Absent for two months due to an ankle injury contracted with Brazil, Casemiro returned to training. The midfielder trained individually this Sunday on the Carrington pitches.
A welcome recovery for the 31-year-old and the Red Devils. Casemiro had started his season well at Old Trafford after his transfer from Real Madrid this summer. But his injury coincided with United’s slump in recent weeks.

A welcome return before the deadline against Bayern
His return comes at the right time before Bayern Munich’s decisive reception in the Champions League on Tuesday. The Mancuniens must absolutely win and hope for a draw between Copenhagen and Galatasaray to qualify for the next round. Casemiro’s experience could then prove valuable.
This will be an opportunity for the Brazilian to gradually regain the rhythm and change the doubts born from his absence regarding a possible sale in January. Because United also hope that their conquering version from the start of the season will reappear at the end of the year. In addition to Bayern, Liverpool, West Ham and Aston Villa are the next clashes.
