Former Manchester United striker and BBC Sport pundit Dion Dublin believes that Casemiro will still play a big role in the Reds' dressing room despite his current suspension.
The Brazilian was sent off in the draw with Southampton for a foul on Carlos Alcaraz. Due to it being his second red card of the season, Casemiro was suspended for four matches, the first of which he served against Fulham in the FA Cup pre-international break.
Despite the 31-year-old missing from the pitch, Dublin believes that United's midfielders will still be calling on the ex-Real Madrid man for guidance in the Premier League fixtures to come. He told United's official website: "It's going to be difficult but I just think the lads know how important these games are.

"Whoever takes his position, I am sure Casemiro will be chatting to him about what he expects as well because he has done it and won everything. I know the players who play in Casemiro's position - Fred has been a Brazil international for years, Scott McTominay has been a Scotland international for years, but I am still sure they will be having a word with Casemiro.
"Just what he thinks and he'll be saying listen, this is how to do it, how to play against this team. So conversations are going to be had.
"Yes, it's going to be a difficult void to fill but he'll be back." Casemiro was handed the Brazil armband on Saturday for the first time and led by example against Morocco.
The captain equalised for the South Americans against Morocco but would end up on the losing side as Abdelhamid Sabiri scored with just over ten minutes remaining to secure the victory for the World Cup semi-finalists.
Casemiro's first game back for United will be on Thursday, April 13 at Old Trafford as the Reds take on Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-final first leg.
