Latest errors by Casemiro
The 32-year-old’s position at Old Trafford has become increasingly insecure following a sad display in United’s recent 3-0 loss to Liverpool. Casemiro’s errors in the first half led directly to two goals by Liverpool’s Luis Díaz, prompting manager Erik ten Hag to substitute him at halftime.
Despite having two years left on his contract with United, where he earns over £300,000 a week, Casemiro’s hefty wages could pose a challenge for Galatasaray. The likelihood of a loan deal may depend on Manchester United’s willingness to subsidize part of his salary. The Red Devils have been actively trying to reduce their wage bill, having offloaded several high earners recently.
While Casemiro is reportedly hesitant about relocating to Turkey, his decision might ultimately hinge on his playing prospects at United. With the team under transition and his role uncertain, a move could provide him with the regular football he seeks.
