Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is reportedly considering a move away from Manchester United in the January transfer window. Several Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in signing the 32-year-old, but face challenges due to foreign player quotas.
Multiple clubs in Saudi Arabia 'remain attentive' to Casemiro 's situation at Manchester United, as the midfielder eyes a move away from Old Trafford in the January transfer window, it has been reported. The 32-year-old has struggled for game time under Ruben Amorim since he replaced Erik ten Hag as United's new head coach in November.

Ivan Toney, Roberto Firmino and Riyad Mahrez are among the former Premier League stars playing at Al-Ahli right now.

Casemiro could leave in January but former United midfielder Kleberson claimed back in November that Casemiro was 'getting better' and felt he had a future under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. 'Casemiro is the one player who doesn’t shy away from the pressure; he can handle the pressure,' he told the Metr
