Manchester United midfielder Casemiro is reportedly being offered an \u2018escape route\u2019 from the club with an \u2019emotional\u2019 component attached.<\/p>\n
United<\/a> have gone through a period of transition of late, but another one might be coming. They accepted that for Ruben Amorim\u2019s project \u2013 and 3-4-2-1 formation \u2013 to work, they needed to allow him to sign the right personnel.<\/p>\n That meant Patrick Dorgu was signed as a bespoke left wing-back, and wide players who fit into Amorim\u2019s system were signed, in Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, along with other additions being made to the squad.<\/p>\n But a year after he was hired, Amorim has been sacked, and the process might start again. United had been looking for a new midfielder prior to that decision being made, and that\u2019s likely to remain the case, meaning a big call could come on one of their existing midfielders.<\/p>\n Casemiro<\/a> was one of Amorim\u2019s preferred central midfielders, but is out of contract in the summer, and according to Fichajes<\/a>, has an \u2018escape route\u2019 from the club.<\/p>\n Brazilian club Palmeiras are said to have taken a \u2018firm step\u2019 with their intentions of signing Casemiro. They are said to want to offer him a two-year contract, feeling this is a key differentiator to other offers he might receive.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, there is a strong \u2019emotional component\u2019 to a move to Palmeiras, with Casemiro himself being Brazilian.<\/p>\n He is said to be \u2018covering his bases\u2019 in case the new coach to replace Amorim doesn\u2019t want him, suggesting he\u2019s ready to make a move if that is the case.<\/p>\n MORE ON MAN UTD FROM F365: It seems definite that won\u2019t be happening in January, though, as fellow United player Joshua Zirkzee looked like he could be making his way towards an exit to Roma, before the Italian club\u2019s chief Frederic Massara stated the Red Devils had \u201cclosed the door\u201d on January exits after Amorim\u2019s sacking<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whoever the new boss is will not want to take over a side which has been ransacked in the winter, so the smart call from the United board is to leave everything as is until a new boss is in place.<\/p>\n And there is every chance that Casemiro continues to perform for the next manager and he\u2019s given more time to continue beyond this season, with the option of the further year in his deal being taken.<\/p>\n
