Manchester United’s season is already under the microscope, and things from the pitch are stirring about as much as they are.
Over the past few weeks, tension has bubbled up in relation to player behavior, manager expectations, and how much the Old Trafford star has.
Now, the Fresh Report suggests that one of United’s big names may be moving after “smoking” manager Ruben Amorim.
Man United decided to let Casemiro leave.
According to Football Insider, Man United is preparing to accept Casemiro’s offer.
The Brazilian midfielder was sent against Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday, which could have united and won.
In an age where clubs struggle to win games and every point is important for the team and manager, Casemiro showed irresponsible attitude towards Chelsea and naiveness by getting the red card.
Mick Brown, former United Chief Scout, shed light on the future of the 33-year-old midfielder.
“It’s time for Casemiro to move on.” He told the soccer insider.
“If Man United receives an offer from him that suits them, they can decide to win cash, but I think he is likely to be allowed to leave for free.
“At his age, it makes no sense to protect him with the money he earns.
“I was interested in him from Saudi Arabia, and I think that’s probably a move that suits him at this stage.
“I think his performance showed that he shouldn’t have much of a long-term future at United, especially after what he did against Chelsea.
“He needs to have enough brains to know that he is on a yellow card and is at risk of getting another card, so he can’t afford to do that challenge.
“Amorim would have been smoked with him.

Deciding to let go of Casemiro is a key signal of change, indicating the club’s willingness to demand increased control of Amorim and accountability.
Even during the summer transfer period, United were chasing after Carlos Valleva, the player who filmed Casemiro’s position at the starting line, but failed to sign the Brighton Star, but he remained on the radar of the future.
Casemiro’s best days are behind him, with United needing a more athletic and younger presence in the middle.
The former La Liga midfielder has experience, but he no longer has the legs to play midfield for United.
