“They would love to offload him” – Man United looking to sell star midfielder in January

Manchester United wants to cash in on Casemiro as soon as the January transfer market opens, according to former top scout Mick Brown.

Since making the massive financial switch from Real Madrid to Old Trafford, the Brazilian midfielder has struggled.

The seasoned midfielder struggled to adapt to the fast-paced Premier League, which shown in his successful debut season with the club. Since then, however, his performances have been lackluster.

The player, who was left off of the starting lineup this season, is reportedly open to leaving the team. Casemiro is now lower on the Old Trafford hierarchy as a result of Kobbie Mainoo’s rise and Manuel Ugarte’s entrance.

Brown, who was a scout at Man United in the past, has claimed that the Red Devils are ready to get Casemiro off their wage bill.

He told the Football Insider:

“I’m told they’ll look to cash in on him as soon as they can, on the 1st January if possible.

“He’s one of the biggest wage-earners and he’s not going to feature regularly in the first team

“He’s been benched because he hasn’t been performing and can’t do it any more.

“I’m sure they would love to offload him if they could to get him out of the squad and off the wage bill, which would allow them to spend some money.”

Casemiro’s time at Man United is coming to an end soon
The midfielder has been heavily criticised for his performance against Liverpool this season when he was responsible for two of the three goals Arne Slot’s team scored at Old Trafford.

The Brazilian midfielder was taken off at halftime by manager Erik ten Hag and since then, he has not started a match for the club.

The Premier League giants have been linked with another Brazilian midfielder to replace Casemiro at the club, Atalanta’s Ederson.

Mainoo, Ugarte and Christian Eriksen have all been preferred by Ten Hag recently which is a clear indication that Casemiro has no future at the club and the Red Devils will look to cash in on him in the next opportunity they get
