Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly eager to bring Red Devils midfielder Casemiro to Turkish side Besiktas.
Casemiro, who joined United in 2022 under Erik ten Hag, has seen his role diminish under new coach Ruben Amorim. The Brazilian has been an unused substitute in seven of United’s last nine Premier League matches.
“I have to make some choices,” Amorim explained recently when asked about Casemiro’s limited involvement. “I want to play a style of game that is sometimes different from other coaches, and I have to make decisions based on that—that’s all.”
With Casemiro believed to be available for transfer, AS reports that Solskjaer is keen to reunite with the former Real Madrid midfielder at Besiktas.
There have also been rumors linking Solskjaer and Besiktas with a move for United forward Marcus Rashford, though the Englishman is not thought to be interested in making the move.
When he took charge of Besiktas earlier this month, Solskjaer was asked about potential transfers involving Casemiro or Rashford.
“There’s always a lot of speculation about Manchester United players, and always a lot of speculation around me,” Solskjaer told TRT Spor. “Casemiro, Marcus—two very good players—but I haven’t spoken to either of them.”
