A major European club is reportedly weighing up a move for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro.
The Brazilian star has started United's opening three games of the season, but endured a nightmare afternoon in his side's 3-0 defeat by Liverpool on Sunday as he gave the ball away for the Reds' opening two goals before being hauled off at half time.
His place in Erik ten Hag's starting XI is now under threat from new signing Manuel Ugarte, and Casemiro could be on his way out of Old Trafford before United return to action after the international break.
According to ESPN, Casemiro is on Galatasaray's shortlist of midfield targets ahead of the Turkish transfer window closing on Friday, September 13.
It is understood that United have been open to selling the 32-year-old all summer, but did not receive significant interest from Saudi Arabia.
They could now offload the midfielder to Turkey if Galatarasay step up their interest in the coming days.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has called for United to move on from Casemiro in recent months.
In a scathing assessment of Casemiro's performance in United's 4-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in May, Carragher urged the club to 'pay him off' and told the former Real Madrid star to 'call it a day'.
He was critical of Casemiro again on the weekend, admitting it was a 'sad sight' to see him struggling so badly as United were comprehensively outplayed by their biggest rivals.
Casemiro's wife, Anna Mariana, sent a defiant message to her husband's critics on Sunday night when she posted a photo of his glittering trophy cabinet at the home they share together.
But the United midfielder is now facing an uncertain future, with the Turkish transfer window still open for another nine days.
United had been anticipating interest from Saudi clubs but that never materialised.

The root cause of all our club's problems should not individually be blamed upon any of the players on that team but rather on the coaching stuff and basically upon the head coaches. These guys dont look like system coaches but rather a general management coaching team who just hope the players will individually perform miracles on every matchday instead of them executing the coach's system/ style of play which should in return result into teamwork.

Onana does not dive, he jumps or hops at the ball…DeGea has a 80% chance of saving with the last two goals from Diaz and Salah. Onana is not a miracle keeper like David…
I said this on Sunday, but fans were tearing at me

United fans and Mark Goldbridge are acting like Casemiro was the only one with a nightmare against Liverpool, Our attackers don't score goals even if the midfielders play well..City would beat Liverpool 4-3...

Man, why is it every time Man U play Liverpool it turns into a life and death situation. Even I'm bored of this news and I support the winning team. It's just too much now. Yes they lost but it's just 1 game, Liverpool have got bigger fish to fry.
