Man Utd midfielder to be dropped vs Liverpool?

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro could be dropped to the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool on the road.

The Red Devils returned to winning ways before the international break with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland. Despite this, they will go into Sunday's game at Anfield as massive underdogs.

United have not won at the stadium since 2016 and face another daunting challenge this time around. Ahead of the game, there is a possibility that Casemiro could be dropped from the starting line-up.

The Brazil international played in both friendlies against Japan and South Korea during the international break. He managed 90 minutes in each.

Manuel Ugarte, on the other hand, was not picked by Uruguay during the international break with manager Marcelo Bielsa preferring an experimental squad with several key players left out.

Casemiro was not spotted in training today which hints that Ugarte may start on Sunday. The Uruguayan has better work rate and mobility and could get the nod over Casemiro in the no.6 role.

Manager Ruben Amorim picked Ugarte over Casemiro for a similar reason against Manchester City in September. There is a good possibility that the same could be repeated against the Reds
