Ole Gunnar Solskjaer eyeing shock Casemiro transfer at Besiktas | OneFootball

Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly keen to try lure Red Devils midfielder Casemiro over to Turkish side Besiktas.

Casemiro, who joined United in 2022 under Erik ten Hag, has tumbled down the pecking order under new head coach Ruben Amorim. The Brazilian has been an unused substitute in seven of United's last nine Premier League games.

"I have to make some choices," Amorim said recently when asked to explain his limited use of Casemiro. "I want to play a style of game that is sometimes different from other coaches and I have to choose based on that, that's all."

With Casemiro thought to be available for transfer, AS state Solskjaer is looking to link up with the former Real Madrid midfielder at Besiktas.

Reports have also linked Solskjaer and Besiktas with a move for United forward Marcus Rashford, although the Englishman is not thought to be interested in such a switch.

When he took over Besiktas earlier this month, Solskjaer was quickly asked about possible moves for either Casemiro or Rashford.

"There's always a lot of speculation about Manchester United players, always a lot of speculation around me," Solskjaer told TRT Spor. "Casemiro, Marcus - two very good players, but I have not spoken to any of them."
