In a recent interview, Cristiano Ronaldo, the iconic forward of Manchester United, singled out just three players as “top professionals” within the squad. His remarks have sparked speculation about potential changes within the team, with reports emerging that the club is now contemplating the sale of one of these individuals.

Amidst the aftermath of Cristiano Ronaldo’s revealing interview with Piers Morgan on Talk TV, where he openly criticized Manchester United, manager Erik ten Hag, and the club’s owners, the Glazer family, attention has turned to the players Ronaldo commended as “top professionals” during his tenure at Old Trafford. Now, one of these players finds themselves on the brink of departure, signaling potential changes within the squad.

When questioned about players he admired at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo singled out Diogo Dalot for praise. Ronaldo commended Dalot’s professionalism, highlighting his youth, intelligence, and dedication to the game, expressing confidence in the young player’s potential for a successful and enduring career in football.

“Probably [Lisandro] Martinez, Casemiro is in his 30s, but I will say Dalot.”

According to the Mail Online, there is interest from Cristiano Ronaldo’s current team, Al Nassr, in Brazilian midfielder Casemiro. The report also mentions that Al Nassr is eyeing another Manchester United player, Aaron Wan-Bissaka. It’s stated that John Murtough, the football director of Manchester United, has traveled to Saudi Arabia, indicating potential talks or negotiations regarding the transfer.

Al Nassr’s interest in Casemiro and Wan-Bissaka has prompted Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, to explore the potential of both deals in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Pro League club is reportedly preparing a substantial offer for Casemiro, who currently earns over £375,000 per week at United. Additionally, they are considering a bid for Wan-Bissaka, following a failed £20 million proposal for Tottenham’s Emerson Royal. United is expected to seek transfer fees for both players to recoup some of the £70 million spent on acquiring Casemiro. The Mail Online also noted that Ronaldo has endorsed Al Nassr’s pursuit of Casemiro.
