Erik ten Hag and his team are facing a major task this summer as they plan to rebuild their squad. Rumors have it that Manchester United's Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes are being targeted by clubs in Saudi Arabia for the upcoming transfer window. It seems the Red Devils are in for a significant squad overhaul, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe leading the way. Many key players have been put on the market for potential buyers.
It is believed that Casemiro will be leaving, and teams in the Saudi Pro League are eagerly looking to acquire him. Al-Nassr, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo, is said to be the most likely destination for the Brazilian. These reports come from The Telegraph, who also state that there is a lot of interest in United's captain, Fernandes. However, it is less likely that he will leave Old Trafford compared to Casemiro.
Casemiro has faced criticism from various pundits this season due to his poor performances, and it seems United is eager to offload him. On the other hand, Fernandes recently spoke about his future and hinted that leaving United could be a possibility. He stated, "A player always has to want to be here, but at the same time, you have to want him to stay." These words suggest that there are uncertainties about his future at the club.
Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney, a United legend, criticized Casemiro after their 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, where he played as a makeshift defender. "He's obviously shown that he's a midfield player and he's not a natural centre-back," Rooney said as he watched back the goal scored by Leandro Trossard against United. He also added, "Once Manchester United want to play this way, whether you're a midfield player or a centre-back, you have to be ready to push out with the rest of the team because if not, you play everyone onside and get punished."
Rooney also pointed out Casemiro's lack of awareness and effort in defending, which ultimately led to the goal. These comments suggest that there may be some issues within the team, and it's clear that Casemiro is not performing to the expectations of his former teammate.
In other news, Arsenal has reportedly put seven players up for sale ahead of the summer transfer window, including some big names. This development has caught the attention of many, including United's Emmanuel Petit, who has urged his former club to sign one of these players, stating that he is "dynamite." On the other hand, United's Rio Ferdinand has slammed Erik ten Hag for his "unfair" treatment of a certain star player, which has caused some controversy in the football world.
As the transfer window approaches, we can expect to see more rumors and news surrounding United and their rivals. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see who their club will sign and sell, and we can only hope for an exciting summer transfer window.
