- EXCLUSIVE from Graeme Bailey
HITC understands that Manchester United duo Casemiro and Antony have decided their immediate future at Old Trafford.
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro had a horrorshow performance against Liverpool with the Brazilian midfielder giving the ball straight to Ryan Gravenberch for the opener before being shrugged off the ball by Luis Diaz for Liverpool’s second at Old Trafford.
Earlier this summer, Manchester United were keen on selling Casemiro from their squad with the Saudi Pro League keen on signing the former Real Madrid midfielder.
However, the transfer window in the Middle East has closed now and the Red Devils midfielder looked set to stay at Old Trafford but interest has emerged from Turkey.
Casemiro and Antony decide Manchester United future
As well as Casemiro, the future of United winger Antony has also been spoken about throughout the summer and the former Ajax ace has yet to make a start in the Premier League this season.
HITC understands that United duo Casemiro and Antony are set to turn down the chance to leave Old Trafford for Turkey.
Sources have confirmed that United are open to offers for their out-of-favour Brazilians and after interest from Saudi Arabia earlier in the summer stalled – we can confirm that interest has emerged from Turkey with Galatasaray open to the idea of both players.
HITC understands that Galatasaray, after securing the signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli, are looking at bringing in a midfielder and a winger, and that led to them asking about both Casemiro and Antony.
Michael Owen and Paul Scholes certainly didn’t hold back on Casemiro following the defeat against Liverpool and it does seem the Brazilian is coming under some heavy scrutiny.
Galatasaray held talks with United over loan deals for duo
HITC understands that Galatasaray had held talks with United about potential loan deals for the Red Devils pair.
However, it is our understanding that neither player are particularly keen on the move and both players are not keen on leaving England at this moment in time.
HITC is told that Antony has made it clear he wants to stay. Casemiro has been considering his future, but we are told that the former Real Madrid star is ready to remain at United although Gala still have time to convince him to move.
The Turkish transfer window closes on the 13th of September so a move cannot be ruled out and Galatasaray have time to convince the pair.
