Manchester United Midfield duo Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro will have to undergo late fitness tests to determine their involvement in Manchester United’s clash with Brentford on Saturday.
The Red Devils travel to Brentford for Saturday’s encounter with the Bees, having already won twice against high flying Brentford in their Last 3 meetings.
The last time Manchester United played at Gtech Community Stadium the Reds lost 4-0 to Thomas Frank side.
This time around Erik Ten Hag might possibly be without Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro for the weekend game away from home, according to reports.
Casemiro was ruled out of United’s triumphant FA Cup win over Liverpool prior to the international break, which led to him being omitted from Brazil’s squad for their two friendlies.
Erik ten Hag confirmed in his press conference on Friday that the 32-year-old will also be assessed on Saturday.
Mainoo also who is fresh off the back of another career milestone after he was awarded his senior international debut and first England start by Gareth Southgate over the past week, playing a total of 89 minutes across both matches.
Since returning to Carrington, Mainoo has fallen ill and is, therefore, a doubt to feature against the Bees, as it stands. He was unable to train with the squad on Thursday, although there are hopes that he could make the cut given the evening kick-off time of 8pm.
