Casemiro’s Manchester United Future Remains in the Balance as Al-Ittihad LoomLarge
As the summer transfer window hurtles towards us, the Manchester United midfield conundrum only persists. One man caught smack in the middle of this uncertainty is Brazilian master Casemiro, who just wrapped up a tumultuous 2022-23 season that left fans and experts puzzled. According to Loic Tanzi of L’Équipe, Al-Ittihad are eyeing not four big-money signings, but none fewer than four world-class stars. For United fans, the spectre of Casemiro making waves across the Saudi Pro League raises genuine questions about his Old Trafford future. Buckle up, folks!
We may still be reeling from United’s rollercoaster season; for Casemiro’s sake, the 31st May statement to SkySports serves as a poignant reminder. Facing injury issues and transitioning duties, he acknowledged:
"As the club is in a period of adaptation… I think it would be very challenging. Of course, we have new coaches coming in, and sometimes transition takes time. But Manchester is one of the biggest clubs in England – the FA Cup means as much here as it does at big clubs like Liverpool or Manchester." (emphasis mine)
Indeed it’s been a transformative – read, trying – time since the Casemiro and Varane arrivals. Inconsistencies, injuries, and doubts surround this United side like their treble-winning aura fading like the memories of a long-exhaling sigh.
Speaking post-injury, he highlighted the broader context of being down to 25 senior men.
"Criticism comes whenever it does. I remain optimistic about constructive criticism. Especially the football I’ve been involved [10 years] and dipped some – criticism will come and rightly so."
While Casemiro, Marquinhos of Paris Saint-Germain, Moussa Diaby out of Aston Villa, and his Brazilian counterpart, Houssem Aouar from AS Rome, reportedly feature on Al-Ittihad’s wish list, you see? For Manchester United (read: fans!), though the 2023 opener at the Theatre of Dreams takes a month, the spotlight ought to fall on this quartet within their fold.
