Al-Nassr are showing interest in Manchester United veteran Casemiro
Manchester United have had a string of disappointing results lately. The Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby Town added insult to injury. The League Two side stunned everyone by scoring two goals in the first half, and although United hit back through Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire, they eventually lost in a penalty shootout. The defeat has taken a toll on club morale and piled pressure on coach Ruben Amorim. It is in this environment that the issue of Casemiro has once again come to the fore, a player brought to Old Trafford from Real Madrid to strengthen the midfield.
Casemiro and the potential transfer talks
Casemiro gave balance to United’s midfield last season, but questions have gradually been raised about his pace and influence. He is getting older, and it is clear that his earlier intensity is no longer there. For this reason, the club kept trying to bring in a new defensive midfielder this summer.
Many names were linked, but no deal could be made. Meanwhile, Goal Brazil, as relayed by Manchester Evening News, reported that Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, Al-Nassr, contacted Casemiro and proposed taking him to Saudi Arabia in a big-money deal. The report suggests that the 33-year-old clearly said that he is not going to leave Old Trafford this year. His focus is completely on remaining in the Brazil team till the 2026 World Cup, and that’s why he wants to stay in the Premier League this season.

Casemiro is in Manchester United’s radar
This situation is confusing for United. On the one hand, the club have failed to find a new option, on the other hand, Casemiro is showing his commitment. He plans to continue playing with United for at least the next one and a half years and then consider going to Saudi Arabia in the last years of his career. United fans know that even though his presence may not have been that dazzling, his experience in big matches and leadership on the field are still important. Meanwhile, Chelsea are eyeing a cut-price deal for a Manchester United star.
Why it’s important to keep Casemiro
As fans, we believe that it’s important for the club to keep Casemiro at this point. The reason is simple, United haven’t bought any new midfielder for the role that the Brazilian has, and there are only three days left for the transfer window to close. If he is sold now, United’s midfield will be completely weakened.
Casemiro himself wants to play his last World Cup for Brazil, so he intends to perform with all his heart. This is a golden opportunity for the club to use his experience. United should hold on to his services, because leaving him now will push the team into deeper trouble. We have to keep using him till we find a decent or good enough replacement to take over the reins. The Brazilian also wants to keep playing top-flight football to be in the reckoning for selection in the FIFA World Cup 2026.
