Casemiro has dropped a team news hint ahead of Manchester United's Premier League match with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Friday night (8.15pm kick-off).
Ruben Amorim's team will be looking to end a seven-game winless run and climb away from 16th place in the standings . However, a return to west London brings back bad memories for the Reds, who lost 4-3 after leading 3-2 in April 2024.
Cole Palmer sealed the result with a hat-trick, two of his goals coming late in stoppage time. This time around, Chelsea have their own European final to prepare for, as do United, facing Tottenham in the Europa League.
Ahead of the clash, Casemiro and Amad posted pre-match graphic previews of the game to their Instagram story.

Historically, this suggests they will be involved in some capacity, although it remains to be seen whether the pair will start the clash at Stamford Bridge or be on the substitutes' bench when the whistle blows.
Casemiro will be looking to return to action after being an unused substitute for United in their last two Premier League games against Brentford and West Ham.
Amad
Amad, on the other hand, returned from an ankle injury earlier this month against Brentford. After starting in the defeat to West Ham, he will be hoping to earn more minutes.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Amorim warned his players they 'need to perform'. He said: "The best way is to face the game like we should face the game. We need to perform, we need to win points in the Premier League and that is the feeling. We talked about that after West Ham.
"We need to improve in the way we face competition, stay focused in every moment of the game because, again against West Ham, we had clear situations to score. In the first opportunity of West Ham, they score one goal. So, these small details matter. The only way I know how to prepare a final, in the normal game for our league, we must play the same way as a final."
