Former Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly interested in securing the signature of Brazilian midfielder Casemiro for Besiktas. Casemiro, who joined Manchester United in 2022, has struggled for consistent game time this season under the management of Ruben Amorim.

Casemiro’s Struggles Under Ruben Amorim
Since Amorim’s arrival at Old Trafford, Casemiro has found himself sidelined, making just two appearances in United’s last nine Premier League games. Amorim recently addressed the situation, stating:
“I have to make some choices. I want to play a style of game that is sometimes different from other coaches, and I have to choose based on that.”
This shift in strategy has led to speculation that Casemiro could be on the move during the upcoming transfer window.
Solskjaer’s Plans for Besiktas
AS reports that Solskjaer, who took over as Besiktas head coach earlier this month, is keen on bringing Casemiro to Turkey. The Norwegian manager is said to view the experienced midfielder as a key addition to his squad.
Additionally, Besiktas has been linked with Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. However, sources suggest that Rashford is not interested in leaving Old Trafford at this time.
When asked about the potential transfers, Solskjaer told TRT Spor:
“There’s always a lot of speculation about Manchester United players, always a lot of speculation around me. Casemiro, Marcus – two very good players, but I have not spoken to any of them.”
What’s Next for Casemiro?
With Casemiro’s future at Manchester United uncertain, a move to Besiktas could offer the midfielder the chance to rejuvenate his career under a familiar coach. Fans of both clubs will be watching closely as the January transfer window approaches.
