So much for his Saudi move. It was the exact same in the summer, all this talk of Saudi clubs lining up to sign him and when the window actually opens nothing materialises.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to celebrate rare back-to-back victories for Manchester United! They analyse the late win in the Europa League vs. Rangers and then try and find things to analyse in a pretty dour game vs. Fulham. They also chat about the latest Marcus Rashford news, and look at the latest transfer news.
Absolutely - plenty of blame to go around.
Let this be a lesson to all;
If we are going to spend big money on a player from a big team then let us make sure it is one of the main creative players that make that team so good and not just a functional cog in that team!
Phil Neal would cost a fortune in today's market going by his resume

He would not have the resume playing for us
Ridiculous isn't it. As unpopular as Ratcliffe is, atleast under his ownership we appear to be proactive in trying to address the poor financial position/losses we've faced. Dread to think where we'd be if Woodward was still at the club
He's been mostly good this season, but with Ugarte finding his feet we have had less reliance on him.
Over 14 league games Cas averages 4.2 tackles per 90 mins, Ugarte is 4.4. Ugarte is dribbled past more than Casemiro however
Ugarte 1.5 interceptions per 90, Casemiro 0.9 so more of a gap there. Mainoo also has 1.2 so he's ahead on interceptions as well
A lot of the time it seems we play Bruno next to Ugarte. Casemiro is no competition for Bruno going forward and Ugarte is ahead defensively for the main DM slot
Having said that Casemiro still makes the most passes of our CMs and has our 4th most key passes - Bruno, Eriksen, Amad and then Casemiro. So he does have something to offer with his passing even though he does give the ball away, with just 81.4% pass accuracy. He needs to do better with that unless he's beating Bruno for key passes.
Given his high wages and age yes of course we should be trying to find a solution to move him on. But with his ball winning, pass numbers and key passes he could still add something off the bench until then

No gametime since Newcastle I think?
It’s strange to say the least I wonder is there more to it , he surely could have been brought on for 15 mins last night instead of trying Ugarte on.
If he doesn’t feature v Bucharest then he’s another player done at the club

It's the most concerning part of the window so far. There seemed to be some links of substance at the start of the window but they've now completely dried up. Collyer has usurped him in the pecking order so there's very little point in us keeping him.
It's worrying if we have to sell a player like Garnacho to offset keeping the likes of Casemiro and Rashford.
He’s finished here, just as expected there is no dream bid from Saudi Arabia coming to take his fee and wages off the books.
I expect he will go to the MLS next and what we are seeing now is him being sidelined to try and motivate him to push to leave and try and reduce some of the huge payoff we will have to give him as well as the big loss on his fee.
Seems like we are able to give all our CB a rest even without using Mazraoui there much of late. And we even have Shaw coming back soon, and he might be able to play a couple of games before he gets injured again. So, unless a couple of our regular ones get injured, I think there is no hope for Casemiro to play at the back.
You covered yourself well
We wanted him out in the summer but from what I read his agent demanded a 25m payout for him to move.
How are you guys looking at his performances and say he's playing well?
For the past year and a half in every game he is on the verge of red card.
Always the same pattern - late or slow to the ball and goes in for the two legged tackle.
Surprised that we can't feck him off to Saudi.

That's a ridiculous interpretation of the situation, but anything to have a dig at Ten Hag, eh.
Casemiro’s stats paint a picture that definitely doesn’t represent what we’ve seen this season. He is very slow and has lost possession a huge amount. Zero vision and looks lost. I’m not sure where or how he gets back into the team ahead of the CMs currently playing. Given his illustrious career, I’m surprised to see him happy to stick around for a relegation fight but clearly his ridiculous salary plays a key role. When he goes at end of contract, it will be along with other high earners and it will feel like we are free a bit.
If you build for the future, I’m not sure why you’d play Casemiro in the first place.
Potentially. Although at that time he was playing, and his future looked nowhere near as bleak as it does now. Not defending Casimero - just understanding the situation.
It did. He didn't start the FA cup final and there was talk of a fallout with ETH. It was becoming evidently clear that he is not suited to the pace of the Premier League. He could only work if we decided to play low block.
Don’t remember seeing photos of ETH pictured in Barcelona.
Tears.
Because not everything is for long-term goal. There's also a short-term goal, which is getting the best out of this season. Zirkzee, Hojlund, and Maguire are not for the future, and we still play them.
He's here anyway, and can contribute.
Since when are 23 and 24 year old attackers not for the future? They’re staying and arguably Maguire as well on a new deal.
On the bench again today, would be surprised if footballing wise he didn't see it would make sense to move, hopefully we get some sort of offer before the window closes.
I have zero faith in him or Rashford sacrificing their golden paycheck to actually play somewhere that makes them do real work.
They will probably stay just to spite us (and earn their undeserved salary)
The season is over. Playing him actively takes away game time from a player here for medium to the long term. One that needs to develop for a better next season. Plus he needs to be sold, playing him would make him feel too wanted here.
Only reason for playing him imo, is to showcase potential buyers he can play a role for them.
Since they both are crap. Why would you want to build United future on crap players?
Both Maguire and Casemiro's contract will expire at the same time in 2026. Both are NOT here as part of the future.
At this point it's obvious he just wants the money. Collyer and mainoo both came on before him today
