Man Utd star back in training ahead of derby

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has returned to first-team training ahead of the Manchester derby this weekend.

The Brazilian suffered a knock to his ankle on World Cup qualifier duty last week and he was given a rest against Sheffield United.

The midfielder was ineligible to face Copenhagen in the Champions League last night due to suspension, but could return on Sunday.

The Red Devils welcome Manchester City to Old Trafford for the first Manchester derby of the campaign. It promises to be a thriller.

United have not been playing at their best this campaign, but they are currently on a three-match winning run in all competitions.

The same can be said for City. The club started the season with six wins on the bounce, but have suffered two losses in their last three.

As a result, they are no longer unbeatable. United got the better of them at Old Trafford last term and will be hoping for something similar.
