Because of his form and fitness issues this season, United are eager to trade the Brazil international midfielder.

During the current January window, United need to sell players to increase their transfer budget, which Erik ten Hag wants to use to boost his squad.

The 31-year-old Casemiro has been linked to both Paris Saint-Germain and a substantial offer to relocate to Saudi Arabia.

The Sun reports that Ratcliffe’s plans to sell Casemiro have backfired, and he is now taking over Old Trafford’s football operations.

Casemiro has 2.5 years remaining on his contract and earns £350,000 a week; the British billionaire is aware of this.

Due to his impending 32nd birthday and ιnjury wоes this season, few, if any, clubs would be willing to pay that amount.

United will play Wigan Athletic in the third round of the FA Cup, and Casemiro has returned to full training this week in preparation.

The signing of Casemiro by Ten Hag in 2022 was described by Jamie Carragher as “terrible” by the club.

In 63 games since departing Real Madrid, Casemiro has contributed to Manchester United’s success with seven assists and eleven goals.
