Manchester United are out of European football. Their Premier League campaign, however, is just starting to heat up. The Red Devils need to find consistency soon to avoid slipping further away from European places. Simon Stone has reported that one of their veteran players will be staying at the club in January.

Stone further reported that Casemiro “seems to have become more important to Man Utd the longer he has been out injured.” Last season, the 31-year-old took the pitch in 28 Premier League fixtures, netting four times in an effort which earned the Red Devils a top-four finish.

Casemiro’s Presence at United
Erik ten Hag has utilized Casemiro in a variety of positions. Naturally a defensive midfielder, the Brazilian national team captain has also been fielded as a defender or even a central midfielder if the Dutch manager sees fit. An ankle injury sustained in a World Cup Qualifying match has left the veteran missing from the United starting lineup.
Casemiro has been described as “world-class,” and his acquisition heralded by United fans. Aside from his ability to create and eliminate chances, his experience with Madrid and Brazil has made him a mentor to the younger United players – seeking to return the Red Devils to the higher echelons of English and European football.
