Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville insisted his former club must work hard to beat Arsenal on Sunday, especially with Casemiro’s absence.
The Brazilian was booked at Selhurst Park on Wednesday against Crystal Palace, so he serves a one-match ban on Sunday as his team-mates face the Gunners.
Looking ahead, Neville has reduced United’s chances of victory without Casemiro.
However, Neville did not miss the opportunity for the “red devils” to realize the unexpected.
He said Sky Sports via The Mirror: “Last time they (United) beat them (Arsenal) without Casemiro. They will have to play very well, defend well, especially in the first half hour when Arsenal are electrifying, but they don’t have a great bench.
“If you get past that first period of the game, you’ll encounter what you’ll encounter later in the game. They had such a problem against Newcastle, who defended very well against them.
“But Arsenal are in great form, clear favorites for the game without Casemiro.”
The former United defender reiterated that Casemiro’s suspension was a big blow for Erik ten Haga and the team.
Neville, however, backed Ten Hag’s decision to field the midfielder against Palace after suggestions he made a mistake by fielding him knowing the player was walking a tightrope.
The Sky Sports pundit added that the referee made the right decision to penalize Casemiro and it was a foul on Wilfred Zaa.
Like Ten witch mentioned after the Palace match, United beat Arsenal at Old Trafford without Casemiro, who came on as a substitute later on.
United must try to do it again, but they face an uphill task to overtake their rivals.
