Manchester United’s Midfield Maestros on the chopping block?
Fresh from their disappointing draw with Twente in the Europa League, Manchester United’s hierarchy is reportedly planning to axe not one, but TWO midfield stalwarts from their squad. And the sooner the better, with Christian Eriksen, the 32-year-old Dane, potentially leaving Old Trafford as early as January.
According to Team Talk, Eriksen’s impressive display against Twente has done little to silence the doubters, who have been questioning his worth to the team for quite some time. With the midfielder’s contract set to expire in 2025, it’s likely United will look to cash in on him during the upcoming transfer window.
But Eriksen won’t be the only one packing his bags. Casemiro, the 32-year-old Brazilian, is also reportedly on the chopping block after a summer of intense transfer speculation. Despite staying put at Old Trafford despite numerous rumors linking him to other clubs, it’s clear that his days as a Red Devil are numbered.
The news will undoubtedly come as a shock to fans, who have grown accustomed to seeing Eriksen and Casemiro anchoring the midfield. Both players have been instrumental in United’s success over the years, with Eriksen chipping in with a handful of goals and Casemiro providing a reassuring presence in front of the back four.
However, Erik ten Hag’s underwhelming start to the season has put the spotlight back on the team’s squad and its ability to compete at the highest level. With United struggling to dominate possession and create clear-cut chances, it’s easy to see why the boss is looking to shake things up.
The question now is, who will fill the void left by Eriksen and Casemiro? With the winter transfer window just around the corner, United will undoubtedly be on the lookout for new midfield talent to inject some much-needed energy into the team.
