Manchester United They are expected to be busy in January and now a new report claims one of their biggest signings could leave the club along with the academy star Marcus Rashford before the end of the month.
Marcus Rashford ready to go
It seems highly unlikely that Rashford will remain a member Ruben Amorim The Manchester United squad is coming to the end of the transfer window, with an expected move away from Old Trafford Premier League star.
The 27-year-old scored the first goal of Ruben Amorim’s reign, but after commenting that he was ready to leave, he did not appear for the club for almost a month, his last appearance coming against Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.
According to Sky Sports, The Red Devils are ready to let him go this January but they are “leaning” into direct lending to try and raise the price ahead of the summer sale. His brother and agent have been in Milan in recent days discussing a potential move to Serie A, while there is also believed to be interest from across the Premier League, although it is stressed that “all options remain open”.
However, his hefty salaries make continued exile unlikely from a financial standpoint Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s previous report on the anger at the Red Devils wageswhich he feels is far above what it should be given the return on investment his side is getting from those who have the big contracts.
As a result, reintegration or departure seem likely, and with no sign of the former, all signs currently point to a mid-season exit. Now another player could be set to follow him out the Old Trafford exit door.
Man Utd ace closer than ever to leaving
This comes according to a report from Caught Offside, which reports that Manchester United have been high earners Casemiro is now “closer than ever” to leaving Old Trafford this month amid heavy interest from Saudi side Al-Nassr.
The Brazilian has fallen into the bench in Manchester since his arrival at the club two and a half years ago, a transfer which then Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag called him “magnificent”.

He started just three Premier League games under Ruben Amorim and was an unused substitute on a further five occasions as the new Manchester United boss searches for a winning formula.
Bringing home a massive £350,000 a week at the Theater of Dreams, Manchester United will be happy to move him if he is not a regular starter, and his availability has reportedly caught the eye of Al-Nassr, where former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo currently plies his trade.

According to the report, Amorim is “willing to allow Casemiro to leave Man United this term” and Al Nassr are “believed to be pushing for a deal this winter”, with the Saudi side “prioritizing” a move for the decorated Brazilian.
For his part, Casemiro is “prepared to seriously consider an offer” if it arrives, which is likely to be his only chance to continue earning anything like what he is currently paying at Old Trafford. For the Red Devils, trading one or more of their biggest receivers this winter can be considered a huge success.
