Under-fire Manchester United star Casemiro could reportedly be on the verge of an exit from Old Trafford in the coming days.

The Brazilian midfielder has been under intense scrutiny in the wake of the Red Devils' emphatic 3-0 loss to eternal rivals Liverpool last weekend.
The 32-year-old made mistakes that led to the Reds' opening two goals, and whether or not he should continue playing for the record Premier League champions has subsequently come into question.
On the Premier League's deadline day, the Mancunians confirmed Manuel Ugarte as their newest signing, and he is believed to be the successor to the Sao Jose dos Campos native for the defensive midfield role in the team.
This has seemingly paved the way for the ex-Real Madrid star to make an exit from United if the option arrives, and according to ESPN, Turkish champions Galatasaray are keen on landing his services.
It is said the Premier League giants have considered selling Casemiro in this window, but expected interest from Saudi Arabia did not materialise, and now a loan move to Turkey could be on the cards.
However, the 75-cap Brazil international is one of the highest earners at United on a reported £300 000 (R7 million) a week, and covering those wages in their entirety may prove to be a stumbling block for the Super Lig side.

With Galatasaray's need for a new midfielder and United's desire to reduce their wage bill further, the move may yet come to fruition.
