Manchester United’s injury issues continue to mount up as they have confirmed that Casemiro will be out of action for a number of weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The influential Brazilian midfielder suffered a hamstring injury during United’s 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
He was withdrawn at half-time from the clash at Old Trafford due to the issue, and and United fans held their breath as they hoped for positive news from his subsequent assessment.<\/p>\n
However, United have revealed that a strain will keep him out for ‘several weeks’.<\/p>\n
It is the latest blow for Erik ten Hag, with pressure mounting on the Dutchman whose side have lost eight of their opening 15 games this season.<\/p>\n

This is not expected to delay the investment, though, as Ratcliffe is expected to hand over the majority of the money to the club before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag had already essentially ruled out the 31-year-old for this weekend’s game with Fulham, when speaking after the loss to Newcastle.<\/p>\n
He told reporters: ‘Just before half-time, he got an injury. That\u2019s why we had to take him off.’<\/p>\n
Asked whether the midfielder may be ruled out until the international break in mid-November, he replied: ‘I can\u2019t give an answer on that [now].<\/p>\n
‘We have to wait 24 hours, but I think definitely for Saturday, he is out.’<\/p>\n
Casemiro’s absence comes at a delicate time for United, with pressure mounting on Ten Hag after a dismal start to the season and a difficult run of games coming up.<\/p>\n
After the trip to Fulham, United travel to Copenhagen for a pivotal Champions League fixture, followed by a home against Luton.<\/p>\n
Following the international break, Ten Hag’s men face trips to Everton, Galatasaray and Newcastle in a week.<\/p>\n

Casemiro’s form has dropped off with the rest of the team this season – despite being their top scorer this term with four goals across all competitions<\/p>\n
Casemiro was a standout performer in his first season at Old Trafford following his \u00a370million move from Real Madrid, scoring in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old has failed to replicate the form this term and has regressed along with the rest of the team.<\/p>\n
Despite his drop-off in form, he is still remarkably their top scorer this term with four goals in all competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
