Its a turbulent time at Manchester United following the shock sacking of former head coach Ruben Amorim.
Darren Fletcher is taking the reins in the immediate aftermath, but talk of appointing another interim before a fresh appointment in the summer is gathering pace.
Out-of-contract Manchester United man offered chance to leave
The Red Devils have a couple of looming contract decisions to make as the summer nears, with the current deals of both Harry Maguire and Casemiro to expire.
For the latter, options are already opening up for his post-United career.

According to journalist Diego Firmino, Brazilian side Palmeiras are eyeing a move for Casemiro.
The club have reportedly been in touch with the midfielders representatives and are ready to offer a two-year contract with an additional year.
The 33-year-old has a plus-one option in his current deal at Old Trafford, but Football Insider revealed in October that the club are unlikely to trigger it due to his high wages.
Casemiro may yet opt to remain in Europe, which is an eventuality Palmeiras seem to be preparing for, but they offer an option to the Brazil international.
They are also not putting all their eggs in one basket, with the same report claiming that former Liverpool man Fabinho is their primary target.
In FourFourTwos opinion, this is the kind of deal you could easily see happening at the tail-end of Casemiros career; it just depends when he feels that point is.
At points in his United past, hes been handed the dreaded His Legs Have Gone badge, but hes bounced back remarkably from that point, becoming a key figure for Ruben Amorim in a system that platformed him better, unlike the wide-open spaces he was left to cover under Erik ten Hag.
A move back to Brazil surely beckons at some point, but his showings this season in the Premier League suggest he may have more options at his fingertips.
Casemiro is valued at 8m, according to Transfermarkt.
