Man United midfielder Casemiro is looking to regain his starting spot as he trains ahead of their Europa League encounter with FCSB. The veteran midfielder has been benched for United's last six games, with manager Erik ten Hag preferring other options in midfield. Despite the setback, Casemiro remains committed to the club and is eager to prove his worth.
Man United midfielder Casemiro shared a training ground update on social media ahead of their crucial Europa League clash with FCSB on Thursday, January 30. The 32-year-old has been out of the starting lineup for United's last six games across all competitions as they look to climb the Premier League and Europa League tables. Casemiro 's last appearance was in their 2-0 Premier League defeat to Newcastle, with the Red Devils winning four, drawing one, and losing one in the six games he's missed.
United's hard-fought 1-0 victory over Fulham propelled them to 12th place, just four points away from the top half, while their 2-1 European triumph over Scottish giants Rangers moved them to fourth in the new Europa League league phase. United will travel to Romania to face FCSB in their final league phase game of the season, aiming to avoid a potentially challenging two-legged play-off.Casemiro remains committed despite his recent demotion in the Man United pecking order. The veteran midfielder has struggled to make a significant impact this season, starting 16 of his 22 games across all competitions. He has scored three goals but hasn't provided an assist in his 1428 minutes on the pitch. Manager Erik ten Hag doesn't seem to have much faith in Casemiro, recently preferring Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, and young Toby Collyer in his double-pivot midfield. A win against FCSB could see United finish as high as second in the Europa League league phase, with Champions League qualification on the line if they win the entire tournament. Ten Hag's attention will shift back to domestic affairs on Sunday, February 2, as they prepare to host struggling Crystal Palace
