Man Utd duo ‘set to leave club’ in drastic move after draw with FC Twente

Manchester United are reportedly preparing to let go of not just one but two players at the end of the season following their draw with Twente — with one potentially leaving as soon as January.

Man United were held to an unsatisfactory 1-1 draw with Twente in their first Europa League match of the season.

Sam Lammers equalized for his side, canceling out Christian Eriksen’s goal, which handed them a surprise point at Old Trafford.

After the match, the Dutch forward shocked Man United fans with his comments regarding the result.

Erik ten Hag faced more criticism as he was rebuked for a moment he had with one of his players during the game.

A new report now indicates that the club is planning further outgoings following a clearout this summer.

According to Team Talk, the duo of Eriksen and Casemiro are “likely to depart at the end of the season.”

The Dane could be sold as early as January, meaning the club will have at least one midfield signing to make, having secured Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Eriksen, 32, joined the Red Devils on a free transfer in the summer of 2022 and has made 77 appearances across all competitions for the club.

However, a move away appears to be on the horizon, especially after he made a significant mistake against Twente.

Casemiro, on the other hand, is also facing the exit following a summer filled with intense transfer speculation.

The veteran Brazilian, 32, was heavily linked with a departure from Old Trafford but remained at the club after the transfer deadline.

Despite failing to secure a transfer this summer, his time at the club seems limited.

Casemiro didn’t play against Twente while Eriksen started the European match.

Speaking after the game, Ten Hag stated: “We are very ambitious and when you have ambition you have to perform and prove the point.

“Today, particularly in the second half, we were too complacent. We didn’t bring it over the line and, as a team, you have to bring this.

“You have to be consistent and keep going. In the second half, we dropped our level and gave the goal away. We can’t allow the right-back from Twente to dribble through the whole midfield and not be stopped.

“We have seen again that you have to keep going for the whole game. Once you’re 1-0 up you have to keep going and go for the second.

“For Twente, it was the game of their life. They fought for every yard, we didn’t and 99 percent is not enough; you have to give 100 percent. You have to kill the game, you have to finish it off and kill the game.”
