After joining Man United from Real Madrid in 2022, Casemiro had a fantastic debut season, making 53 appearances in all competitions and providing seven goals and seven assists.

The Brazilian played a significant role in helping Man United win the EFL Cup and place in the top four of the Premier League to earn a Champions League berth.

But instead of building on his success from the previous campaign, Casemiro has found it difficult to reach his peak this year, and some have expressed disapproval of his efforts.

Due to rumors of a possible January departure, the seasoned midfielder, who is sidelined until the new year due to a hamstring injury, is now concerned of his future at Old Trafford.

According to a recent rumor, Saudi Arabian teams are reportedly interested in signing the Brazil international, and Man United may consider selling him during the winter transfer window.

Man United is currently searching the market for suitable successors, and RMC Sport reports that they are thinking about Fofana.

According to the source, Man United expressed interest in signing Fofana to a loan agreement around the end of the summer transfer season.

In the end, Fofana decided to stay with Monaco, where he has started all 12 league games this year to assist his team in climbing into third place in the Ligue 1 standings.

Since moving from Strasbourg to Monaco in 2020, Fofana has made 151 appearances altogether, tallying three goals and 14 assists.

The midfielder is reportedly admired by Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, two of the biggest teams in Italy, in addition to Man United.

Given that Fofana’s contract is almost out, Monaco may decide to consider bids when it comes time for negotiations next year.

The 24-year-old, who has made 12 appearances for his country, is presently training with Didier Deschamps’s team in preparation for their next Euro 2024 qualifying matches against Gibraltar and Greece.
