It is believed united are open to offers for Casemiro, who still has 18 months left on his £375,000-a-week contract which also includes the option of a one-year extension, but the Red Devils have yet to receive any interest specific
The pressure is firmly on Casemiro’s shoulders after he was withdrawn from Brazil’s squad for this summer’s Copa America. Coach Dorival Junior has not recalled the midfielder for September’s international matches.
