- Casemiro once again awakens the interest of Saudi Arabian football clubs
- Manchester United are ready to sack the man they signed for £60m
- LISTEN NOW: It's all starting! New line-up, some new faces, but optimism has faded at Old Trafford
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is attracting fresh interest from Saudi clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Qadsiah.
Al-Ittihad were interested in the 32-year-old last summer, however, most Saudi clubs now have their full quota of foreign players and need to sell this month before they can bring in new recruits.
United would sell the Brazilian, one of their highest earners.
Casemiro, who joined from Real Madrid in 2022 for £60m, earns £350,000 a week. His contract expires at the end of next season.
After an outstanding debut campaign with the Red Devils, he has struggled to replicate the form that saw him win five Champions League titles in Madrid.
He has frequently been on the bench since Ruben Amorim's arrival and is reportedly considering leaving.

United are also hoping to offload Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof, among others.
When asked if Casemiro and Eriksen could start together in midfield following the 2-0 defeat to Newcastle on Monday night, Gary Neville was emphatic in his response.
'No no. They may have to do this if there are many injuries. “We've all been through that in football, where you get to 30 and the last thing you want by your side is someone else playing with you at 30,” he told Sky Sports.
'The last thing Eriksen sees next to him is someone who lacks energy. He wants to see someone who can compensate for what he doesn't have and vice versa with Casemiro.
“There are players in other high-level clubs who don't have legs, but they have people around them who can cover the fact that they don't have legs.” “They can't play as two in midfield with those huge gaps that exist.”
Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez and PSG's Nuno Mendes are on United's wish list if they can raise funds in this window.
