Despite his impressive contribution last season with seven goals and six assists in 51 games, there’s been concern about his form this season, where he’s scored four goals and made one assist in 12 games. This has led to rumors about his potential move.
Casemiro’s possible move to Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, reuniting with former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, is one of the circulating rumors. However, his return to the field for Manchester United is crucial. His absence, along with injuries to Martinez and Maguire, has significantly affected the team’s performance, underlining his importance to the club’s success and stability in the ongoing season.
