Man Utd desperately trying to offload Casemiro as club hold various talks over ageing midfielder after falling out of favour with Ruben Amorim

Premier League

Manchester United

Ipswich

<p>The Red Devils are reported by the <a href="https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-holding-talks-try-30905753" target="_blank"><em>Manchester Evening News</em></a> to be using the services of "several" agents in an attempt to idenity a potential buyer for Casemiro, with the transfer deadline fallling on Monday night at 11pm (GMT). </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Casemiro is one of United's top earners but is effectively now bottom of the central midfield pecking list, behind Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen and Toby Collyer, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-player-ratings-vs-fcsb-rasmus-hojlund-kobbie-mainoo-alejandro-garnacho-diogo-dalot/blt714fbf49544bc07e" target="_blank">the latter starting ahead of the Brazilian against FCSB on Thursday night</a>. The five-time Champions League winner was formerly a favourite with Erik ten Hag, but has found Ruben Amorim looking in other directions. Casemiro has been an unused substitute in eight of the club's last ten Premier League games. He is yet to complete 90 minutes under Amorim in any competition and has started just two of the 18 matches the Portuguese tactician has been in charge of. It feels like a waste of limited resources to keep him when the money being spent on wages could be reinvested.  </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Recently explaining his preference for other players over Casemiro, Amorim said: "I have to choose the player with characteristics that I see [for] the game. It's just that." </p>

WHAT RUBEN AMORIM SAID

<p>To sell Casemiro before Monday night's transfer deadline, United need a willing buyer, and the apparent lack of one is a major problem, even with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/casemiro-ready-end-man-utd-stay-agree-january-move-saudi-pro-league/bltba0e0cc96592ac81" target="_blank">months of speculation about the Saudi Pro League</a>. Time is quickly running out. </p>
