Manchester United receive Casemiro boost ahead of Southampton fixture
Manchester United summer signing Casemiro has been granted a work permit, meaning he is available to make his debut against Southampton this weekend.
United recorded their first win of the new season when they beat Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday night, and will be looking to secure another three points when they travel to the South Coast on Saturday lunchtime.
Erik ten Hag will be eager for his side to build upon the impressive foundations of the Liverpool win when they face Southampton, and United could be given an extra lift by a possible debut for summer signing Casemiro.
Where Manchester United stand on further transfers in final week of summer window
Manchester United want to add at least two more players to their first-team squad in the final week of the summer transfer window.
Erik ten Hag has already been backed with four new additions this summer, adding Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro to his squad.
United have spent just shy of £129.6m on new signings this summer, meaning they could break their record expenditure for a single transfer window if they do add to their squad in the final seven days.
