A statement from the team stated, “Casemiro has started training on the pitch, as the Brazilian steps up his recovery for Manchester United.”

“On Sunday, the midfield player was observed working out by himself on the Carrington grass while his teammates engaged in a recuperation session.”

The 31-year-old’s chances of playing again in the near future, meanwhile, seem slim given that Erik ten Hag earlier stated he didn’t anticipate the defensive midfielder returning before Christmas.

He will therefore be unable to participate in United’s pivotal Champions League match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, which is must-win, and their Sunday trip to Liverpool, their bitter rivals.

Following a humbling 3-0 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday, the Red Devils are now 10 points behind the Reds at the top of the Premier League standings, sitting sixth.

Ten Hag has therefore been under increasing pressure, and in light of the player unhappiness that has been reported, he will be happy to see Casemiro return to Carrington.

It is rumored that the manager, who is trying to win back the squad’s entire support, has missed the impact of Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez in the locker room.

Casemiro was one of United’s greatest performers the previous season, but the Real Madrid veteran hasn’t looked like himself thus far this year.

Despite the recent return to full fitness of players like Jonny Evans and Luke Shaw, United still has a number of ιnjury concerns, including those involving Martinez, Christian Eriksen, and Mason Mount.

Despite the unfortunate news that captain Bruno Fernandes will also miss the trip to Anfield due to suspension, promising young player Amad Diallo has returned to training following a protracted knee ιnjury.
