A Manchester United star appears set to follow Casemiro out of the club at the end of the season, according to stunning reports.

Casemiro will leave Man United when his existing deal expires at the end of the season.

He's been at the club since 2022 following his £70 million transfer from Real Madrid.

Casemiro has made 153 appearances across all competitions and helped them to Carabao Cup and FA Cup glory.

His departure will leave a void in Michael Carrick's squad, with the club thought to be in the market for two new midfielders.

As well as incomings, however, Man United plan to offloaded players, with Joshua Zirkzee eyeing a summer exit.

According to The Sun, Zirkzee has been disillusioned with his failure to convince Carrick that he is worthy of more minutes on the pitch.

The Dutchman has struggled for game time this season and could miss out on the Netherlands' World Cup squad.

He's made 20 appearances across all competitions, including just four starts.

Zirkzee was strongly linked with a move away from Old Trafford during the winter transfer window, but the club failed to sanction his sale.

A return to Italy was mooted, having joined Man United from Bologna for £36.5 million in the summer of 2024.

Juventus and AS Roma enquired about the 24-year-old and a move back to Italy is a possibility.

He was recruited to provide support for Rasmus Hojlund but he failed to make a huge impression as an out-an-out forward after describing himself as a '9.5'.

Last summer, Man United signed Benjamin Sesko for £74 million and while he's enjoyed a recent hot streak in front of goal, they have often started without a traditional No.9 this season.

Given the Red Devils have started the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha as a false No.9, a potential sale of Zirkzee could see them reinvest funds elsewhere in the squad, including in defence and midfield.

Zirkzee has scored nine goals in 69 games in all competitions since signing for Man United. He has two goals to his name this season.
