Paris Saint-German are interested in joining the race to sign Manchester United star Casemiro, according to reports.

The 31-year-old has struggled for both form and fitness this season and has been missing for United since the start of November.

The Brazilian picked up an ankle problem while on international duty in October and then suffered a hamstring injury on his return to action against Newcastle, with the veteran expected to be sidelined until after Christmas.

Casemiro still has two-and-a-half years left on his current contract, with the option for an additional year, but he is giving serious thought to jumping ship.

According to reports in the Guardian, United are willing to listen to offers for several players, including Casemiro.

The experienced midfielder is likely to attract interest from Saudi Arabia, but Ligue 1 giants PSG are another said to be interested in the 31-year-old’s signature, according to a report in The Sun.

The French club are currently top of the league but could be looking to add some experience ahead of their Champions League knockout fixtures in the new year.

Alongside Casemiro, United will consider the futures of Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek when the January window opens next month.

Sancho has not played for the Red Devils since his public falling out with Erik ten Hag earlier in the season.

Martial looks set not to have his contract renewed, while Van de Beek could be set for a move to Germany, with Eintracht Frankfurt the frontrunners for the 26-year-old.

On the pitch, United will be looking to avoid a third successive defeat when they head to Anfield to take on Liverpool on Saturday.

Ten Hag’s side lost 7-0 in the fixture last season and will be looking to avoid what would be already an eighth league defeat of the season.
