Casemiro included in Man Utd's Europa squad amid transfer speculation

The Brazil international, who endured a poor 45 minutes in the weekend defeat to Liverpool he was replaced at half-time, faces losing his first-team place at United to new signing Manuel Ugarte.

The £51million deal for the Uruguay midfielder could push Casemiro down the pecking order and the 32-year-old has been linked with a Galatasaray as the Turkish transfer window remains open until later this month.

However, Erik ten Hag has selected him in the 25-man squad submitted to UEFA for matches which start at home to the Dutch manager's former side Twente in a fortnight.

New signing Leny Yoro is also selected, even though the 18-year-old defender is not likely to return from a metatarsal injury for a couple of months.

Left-back Tyrell Malacia, who has not played since a knee injury in May 2023 after suffering a setback in his recovery, has also been named in the European squad.
