Manchester United receive early boost in time for Bayern

Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro is set to make a potential return to action as he resumed training ahead of a crucial Champions League showdown against Bayern Munich this week. The Brazilian had been sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained while on international duty with Brazil back in October.

United confirmed Casemiro’s return to training, albeit in an individual session separate from his teammates, who were undergoing a recovery session following a disappointing 3-0 loss to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday.

The midfielder’s recovery paves the way for a potential inclusion in the squad to face Bayern Munich on Tuesday. Casemiro, 31, notably netted twice against the Bundesliga champions during their initial encounter in the Champions League, a match that ended in a 4-3 defeat for United.

For United to progress to the last-16, they face a crucial scenario where victory against Bayern is imperative while also relying on Copenhagen and Galatasaray to play out a draw in Denmark. This combination of results is necessary for United to secure advancement in the tournament.

Casemiro’s potential return offers a glimmer of hope for United as they aim to overturn their fortunes and secure the much-needed victory in their Champions League campaign.
