Manchester United officially announced a few days ago that the 31-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has begun to recover and return to Carrington Stadium. Although he can only train individually, it is still good news for manager Ten Hag. Manchester United have recently brought back the likes of injured Luke Shaw and Evans, and Casemiro's return will further strengthen the squad. Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag missed Casemiro's professional attitude with Argentine defender Martinez ahead of his injury. The duo played an active role in the dressing room and gave the team full support for Ten Hag's decision-making. Despite Casemiro's absence from this week's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, United will have to win at home and secure draws against Copenhagen and Galatasaray to progress to the knockout stages. For that, the team needs to give it their all and be supported by the rest of the team. Ten Hag will also need to keep an eye on the injury to Swedish defender Victor Lindelof, who picked up an injury against Chelsea and missed the game against Bournemouth.
United struggled at the back, with Luke Shaw playing at centre-back and Harry Maguire excelling. Despite Raphael Varane and Evans coming off the bench twice, United will need to play well against Bayern Munich to have any chance of progressing. Ten Hag is confident of a miracle for his side, saying: 'We have the ability to do that and the win over Chelsea last week showed that. Now we have to forget about the defeat against Bournemouth and analyse the reasons for the defeat and learn from it. As long as we are consistent, we can play well against any opponent. "It is worth mentioning that the good news for Manchester United against Bayern Munich is that the opponents have already decided to top the group and suffered a heavy defeat in Saturday's game. However, Bayern will likely be eager to do so soon and take the opportunity to attack the Reds. Manchester United will need to work hard as a team if they are to succeed in the upcoming games. Bayern Munich's Germany international Gnabry will miss the next few games with a groin strain.
The former Arsenal winger missed the opening round of the Bundesliga season with a number of injuries, before missing five games with a hip injury and one game with a forearm fracture. It is worth mentioning that Gnabry's only goal this season came against Manchester United in the Champions League, where he was impressive in finding the back of the net against England sides, with a total of seven goals coming against Premier League sides. In a statement released on Sunday, Bayern said: "Last night's scan showed Gnabry had a groin strain. He had to go off after just five minutes and will miss the rest of the game. ”。Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that he will not show mercy to Manchester United because of his poor record against the Red Devils when he was in charge of Chelsea and now he wants revenge. 'I have confidence in my team, it doesn't make sense to say anything now, Tuesday's performance will speak for itself. At Old Trafford, we need to respond. 'That's the great thing about football, the game comes quickly and we will prove ourselves on Tuesday with our performances.
That's our focus at the moment, two days off, a different side and regain confidence. ”
