The Red Devils head coach is reportedly keen to offload two high earners at Old Trafford.

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro could be facing an unexpected exit from Old Trafford as early as January, with incoming manager Ruben Amorim reportedly ready to offload the Brazilian star, as per SPORT.

Casemiro's Manchester United future in doubt

Despite featuring in 10 out of 11 Premier League matches and contributing significantly in the EFL Cup, Casemiro's future appears uncertain.

Amorim, who has taken over the managerial reins at Old Trafford, has apparently informed the 32-year-old that he is not part of his plans moving forward.

During his time with the Red Devils, he has made 99 appearances, scoring 15 goals and playing a crucial role in their FA Cup and EFL Cup triumphs.

The report suggests that the Portuguese manager is planning a major squad overhaul in the January transfer window, with several first-team players potentially heading for the exit door.  

Alongside the Brazilian, winger Antony, another Erik ten Hag signing who has struggled to make an impact, is also rumoured to be available for transfer.

This potential shake-up signals Amorim's intent to reshape the squad according to his vision, even if it means parting ways with established players like Casemiro. 

What next for Man Utd?

Amorim takes charge of his first Man Utd game against Ipswich on Sunday, November 24.
