Casemiro has sparked speculation after he conspicuously missed Manchester United's FA Cup celebrations.
The Brazilian was not part of the United squad that faced rivals Manchester City in the final of the tournament played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 25.
The midfielder has been integral to Erik ten Hag's team this season, with the Dutchman occasionally deploying him at centre-back to fill in for the likes of Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, and Lisandro Martinez, who have been battling injuries.
Many had expected him to form part of the team to take on City, only for him to pull out of the team due to injury.
