Can Casemiro regain his place at Manchester United?

Casemiro is currently sidelined with a long-term ankle injury and is not expected to return until January. The Brazilian midfielder has been a subject of significant debate this season, with many suggesting that he does not have the same impact on the United team as he did before. We have analyzed United's Premier League matches this season with Casemiro on the field and without him.

Manchester United with Casemiro:
◉ 4 wins 
◉ 4 losses 
◉ 1.13 goals scored per 90
◉ 1.5 goals conceded per 90

Manchester United without Casemiro: 
◉ 4 wins 
◉ 1 loss
◉ 1.4 goals scored per 90
◉ 0.8 goals conceded per 90 

Looking specifically at the stats, United performs better without Casemiro. It appears that Scott McTominay is currently the successor to Casemiro, and he has performed well both offensively and defensively. Amrabat has also been brought in for the midfield, and when the injured players return, the plan is for him to play in the midfield as well. So, the question is whether Casemiro can reclaim a spot in the starting lineup when he returns, or if the team will explore other options.

There's no doubt that Casemiro is a class player, but at 31, he has been struggling to find his top form this season. Several fans and experts have even called him lazy on the field, so it might be challenging for the Brazilian to make a comeback.
