Casemiro will miss Arsenal trip

However, the ex-Real Madrid anchorman will play no role in the fixture, as he is currently suspended.

According to Metro, the 30-year-old earned the suspension after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

The Man United talisman was booked in the 80th minute of the clash after he cut down Wilfried Zaha, who had threatened to get past him.

Casemiro was spotted shrugging towards Bruno Fernandes with a rueful gaze, as the referee reached for the yellow card.

Sky Sports pundit, Jamie Redknapp went on to suggest that the midfielder's foretelling look was blaming Fernandes for 'letting him down'.

Moments earlier, the Portuguese star was unable to win the ball after he was beaten by Tyrick Mitchell, following a weak challenge from the Man United star.

Mitchell went on to find Zaha with a clinical pass, with Casemiro - who did not have many options at the time - forced to bring down the Ivorian winger.
