Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough has reportedly offered midfielder Casemiro to clubs in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Nassr showing interest. Cristiano Ronaldo’s endorsement has reportedly played a role in Al-Nassr’s eagerness to make a substantial offer for the Brazilian who has struggled with form and fitness since joining United from Real Madrid last summer for £60 million.

Murtough’s efforts to generate interest in players like Casemiro during his visit to Saudi Arabia have gained traction. With Sir Jim Ratcliffe set to assume control at Old Trafford, Casemiro’s future at the club seems uncertain as Ratcliffe views his signing as an example of United’s poor recruitment strategy. However, Casemiro’s high salary has posed challenges in finding a buyer.
