At Old Trafford on Saturday, Manchester United defeated Brentford 2-1 in the Premier League to get back on track.

The Red Devils entered the game with a five-game losing record, and they were disappointed to see Ethan Pinnock score from a corner to finish the first half.

After the intermission, there was an amazing response, nevertheless. Shortly after the restart, Alejandro Garnacho scored, and then Rasmus Hojlund scored the crucial winner.

Due to an injury, Casemiro took over in the center of the midfield alongside Kobbie Mainoo. In the game against the Bees, he got off to a sluggish start but gained confidence as it progressed.

In the end, the Brazilian defeated Thomas Frank’s team in 11 ground and aerial duels. In addition, he made four tackles, six ball recoveries, and won all of his dribbles.

Even with the encouraging performance, we don’t think he’ll play against Fenerbahce away from home. On Thursday, United takes on the Turkish team in the Europa League.

The 32-year-old was hurt in the calf during the latter moments of the match. Manuel Ugarte took his place for the last ten minutes after he requested a substitution.

Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, did not give a clear update on Casemiro’s condition, but the team should bring us some information in the coming days.

Following their victory over the Bees, the Red Devils are now ranked eleventh in the standings. After eight games, they are still six points outside of the Champions League spots.
