Casemiro might make his debut for his new team, Manchester United, when he faces Southampton on Saturday in the fourth round of the English Premier League, but coach Eric Ten Hag said that Anthony Martial will miss the team due to an Achilles tendon injury.
And the British news agency “BA Media” reported that Manchester United presented Brazilian international Casemiro before the match in which the team beat Liverpool 2-1 last Monday, following completing his contract with Casemiro, 30, from Real Madrid, in exchange for approximately 70 million pounds ($82.8 million).
“Casimiro is ready,” Tin Hag said. He did all the training sessions. At first he trained individually, and in the last days he trained with the team.”
He added: “Martial complained of an Achilles tendon problem, so we have to wait, I can’t predict how long he will be out. I hope he is ready for the next match.”
Asked if he expects a hot week in the transfer market, Tin Hag laughed: “I don’t know.” He added: “Obviously we need players, but we need the right players, this is what we have said throughout the transfer window and we are happy with what we have done so far.”
