EAGLE-EYED fans have spotted a major clue that Casemiro could return for Manchester United against Tottenham.
The Brazilian midfielder has been sidelined since November having suffered a hamstring injury.

During Sky Sports’ pre-match coverage, Roy Keane and Jamie Redknapp were chewing the fat in the Man Utd dressing room.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted Casemiro‘s shirt up in one of the player seats next to Christian Eriksen and Scot McTominay.
Casemiro was also filmed by the club’s media team arriving at Old Trafford at ahead of the game.
He could be heard saying “good morning” and “hello” to ground staff.
The Brazilian also signed autographs for fans outside of the stadium.
The potential return has left Red Devils’ supporters excited and optimistic for the clash against Tottenham.
