Casemiro has shared a message on social media as speculation over his Manchester United future grows ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.
Recent reports have claimed that Roma have identified the midfielder as a potential replacement for Leandro Paredes, who has been linked with a move to Boca Juniors in recent days. Just as with the Premier League, Serie A clubs also have until Monday to wrap up their transfer dealings for the month.
The Brazilian has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr in the past where former Real Madrid teammate and United legend Cristiano Ronaldo currently plays. As speculation grows over what comes next for Casemiro, the 32-year-old has posted a photo on his Instagram stories of him being involved in United's most recent training session.

The picture shows him smiling alongside Victor Lindelof and Bruno Fernandes. Casemiro has made 22 appearances across all competitions for the Reds this season.
However, he has been left on the bench for United's last four league matches and has not played since the 2-0 defeat at home to Newcastle on December 30. United boss Ruben Amorim has since revealed that the five-time Champions League winner can no longer cope with the physical demands of English football's top flight.
“Sometimes it’s a lot of that," he said. "It’s also a player’s moment. We understand that Casemiro has other things nowadays.
"The intelligence he has, understanding the game, understanding where the ball is going to fall but we’re in a league that I can see, even in European competitions, the difference in intensity is big. And so, I feel that this team also needs players with a very high intensity. And sometimes we don’t have that and sometimes that difference in characteristic can lead one player or another to play.”
He added: “Even the fact that the group has a certain characteristic as a group. I needed some players in certain positions with a slightly different pace. But we all know the quality Casemiro has and everything he won. And so, I have nothing to say about that. It’s just a choice.”
