Casemiro's Manchester United future is uncertain. The 32-year-old, who was linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the summer, has struggled for regular game time under new United head coach Ruben Amorim.

In fact, the Brazilian made his first start in SIX Premier League matches during Monday's 2-0 defeat against Newcastle and had played just 27 minutes in the previous five. It appears that Casemiro has dropped down the pecking order and there has been some talk that he could leave United.

A move to Saudi Arabia has been touted, while Serie A might be another possible destination for the former Real Madrid midfielder, who joined United for £60million in August 2022. During his time in Manchester, Casemiro, who has 18 months left on his current contract, has made 104 appearances.

With this in mind, here is a look at the latest surrounding Casemiro's future...

January exit

Casemiro has 'agreed' to leave United in the January transfer window, according to UOL. The report states that Public Investment Fund, who own several clubs including Saudi Arabia quartet Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, are 'determined' to sign the midfielder.

It's added that Casemiro's desire to leave United would favour the Saudi group to accelerate their efforts to sign him in the winter. UOL claim there should be 'no major obstacles' in getting a deal done from United's side to sanction a departure for the four-time Champions League winner.

Kleberson admission

Ex-United star Kleberson claimed back in November that Casemiro was 'getting better' and felt he had a future under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. "Casemiro is the one player who doesn’t shy away from the pressure; he can handle the pressure," he told the Metro.

"People can get upset with him or the media, and the news can try and punch him down, but he’s always the same guy and will always try to play the way that he can play. You saw him score two goals [against Leicester City], the second goal that he scored he was the one that won the header and he still had the desire to get the next ball.

"I think things are getting better for him. Every time a season is done, you hear that Casemiro has to leave United, that he has done, has to go to Saudi Arabia or back to Brazil, but he can still play. He can still offer more to United."

Keane advice

Back in September, former United midfielder Roy Keane advised Casemiro to be used higher up the pitch to utilise his attacking and goalscoring ability.

"I wouldn't be writing him off yet," the pundit said on the Stick to Football podcast. "His role in the team, if he gets back in and a couple of games under his belt, might be a bit higher up the pitch.

"The first thing we always say is, 'he can't get around the pitch'. But what we've seen going forward, he does have an eye for a pass. Set-pieces, how many times does he get his head on it?"
