Casemiro's standing at United has come under scrutiny after his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-liverpool-casemiro-kobbie-mainoo/bltd95c513a64f9cbe1" target="_blank">disappointing performance in United’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool </a>on Sunday. The 32-year-old was replaced at half-time after costly errors contributed to Liverpool's first two goals, both netted by Luis Diaz. This lacklustre display has cast doubt on Casemiro's future at Old Trafford and he could be shipped away to Galatasaray, according to <a href="https://www.espn.in/football/story/_/id/41118048/galatasaray-eye-struggling-man-united-star-casemiro-source" target="_blank">ESPN.</a> The report adds that United have been open to Casemiro's exit throughout the summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Since his high-profile transfer from Real Madrid in 2022, where he was acquired for £60 million ($79m), Casemiro has been one of United’s top earners, with weekly wages reportedly exceeding £300,000 ($394,000). Galatasaray's interest may present a viable option for both parties, but the financial aspects of such a deal remain complex. The Brazilian’s substantial salary could pose a significant hurdle for the Turkish side and a potential loan deal might hinge on United's willingness to cover a portion of his wages.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Casemiro's position as a regular starter at United is further threatened by the arrival of Manuel Ugarte. The Uruguayan was brought in on deadline day for an initial €50m (£42.3m/$55m) fee from Paris Saint-Germain, adding depth and competition to United’s midfield. Although Ugarte was not eligible to play against Liverpool due to registration issues, he will be available for selection after the international break.

DID YOU KNOW?

As the Turkish transfer window remains open until September 13, Galatasaray will continue to assess their options, with Casemiro seemingly at the top of their list. A move to Turkey could offer a fresh start and a new challenge for the waning Brazilian while for Galatasaray, it would represent a significant coup, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/victor-osimhen-spending-prime-year-galatasaray-loan-huge-waste-world-best-strikers/bltcdda09affb23ea19" target="_blank">after getting on board Victor Osimhen from Napoli,</a> in their efforts to build a competitive squad.
