Although he is eligible to play against Sevilla in Europe, Casemiro will miss Manchester United’s upcoming three Premier League matches against Newcastle, Brentford, and Everton.

Casemiro is still on the sidelines for Manchester United.
The “perfect choice,” in Paul Scholes’ opinion, to start in place of Casemiro for Manchester United is Scott McTominay.

After receiving his second red card of the year against Southampton last month, Casemiro was given a four-game home ban. The Brazilian international missed the 3-1 FA Cup victory over Fulham, but has already played in one of the fixtures.

Erik ten Hag is at a loss for a substitute after Casemiro’s suspension, with Marcel Sabitzer, Fred, and McTominay all vying for the starting position. Scholes feels that McTominay deserves the nomination following his heroics for Scotland during the break.

In Scotland’s victories at Hampden against Spain and Cyprus in the Euro 2024 qualification rounds, McTominay scored four goals. Although Steve Clarke’s team was predicted to defeat Cyprus, their 2-0 victory over Spain, in which McTominay scored a hat trick, will be remembered for a long time.

After his successes at the international level, Scholes thinks McTominay will be brimming with confidence and deserves the win. When asked if he anticipates McTominay starting Man Utd’s upcoming match, Scholes responded, “I do, yes,” according to the Webby & O’Neill YouTube channel.

“Whether Eriksen is back as well… I don’t believe he is too far away, is he?” “Scott is the ideal choice to come in for Casemiro. He will have come back with loads of confidence and he is a really talented player.

He undoubtedly suffered some damage from the previous McTominay-Fred midfield partnership, which hasn’t been good for him. But he hasn’t complained and has instead carried on with his work.

It could be a huge few weeks for him now if he just relaxes into the knowledge that he can succeed. People have been speculating about him leaving the club, but I sincerely hope he doesn’t.

To be completely honest, I detest seeing homegrown ability leave the team, but it occasionally has to happen. As I mentioned, he has some important weeks ahead of him. If he can join the team and make Casemiro appear unmissed, then ideally he will stay with us.
