The Magpies outplayed the veteran duo, highlighting their struggle to meet the intensity required by the Portuguese manager. Both players are reportedly on the market this January.

The Brazilian, who had an impressive debut season, has found it challenging to keep up with the pace of the English game. Under Amorim, he has played only 318 minutes this season.

According to The Peoples Person, Saudi Arabian clubs are interested in acquiring him, with Al Nassr currently in the lead. However, INEOS may need to accept a £30 million loss on their initial investment.

Casemiro may remain at Manchester United, but with Kobbie Mainoo’s game time needing careful management, Amorim requires more options in the midfield. If both experienced midfielders were to leave, the team could be left short-staffed.

According to Givemesport, United might reevaluate their stance on the Brazilian, potentially allowing him to stay at Old Trafford until the summer. However, the report emphasizes that the former Real Madrid star is not part of Amorim’s long-term plans, and this season is likely to be his last in Manchester—unless an irresistible offer comes in.

The 20-time English league champions urgently need a left wingback and a striker. However, without player sales, the club may struggle to provide Amorim with any reinforcements, given the current situation.

This could also be a strategy to increase his market value, allowing them to recoup more from Al Nassr. It will be intriguing to see how the situation unfolds for the five-time Champions League winner in January.
