Erik ten Hag 'considering DROPPING Casemiro for the FA Cup final' with the Brazilian struggling since being forced to deputise in defence amid Man United's injury crisis

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly considering dropping Casemiro from his starting XI for the FA Cup final.

A series of injuries to key players have ravaged United during the last few months of the campaign, particularly in defensive areas.

Lisandro Martinez, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof have all endured spells on the sidelines in recent weeks, with Ten Hag forced to rely on inexperienced or makeshift defenders to plug the hole in the heart of his defence.

With few options available to the Dutchman, Casemiro was forced to deputise as a centre-back for the final six games of the Premier League campaign.
