TURKISH DELIGHT Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ‘plots shock transfer raid on Man Utd’ just days after landing Besiktas job

The former Red Devils boss joined Besiktas last week after four years out of the dugout.

Casemiro is on the radar of Besiktas after falling down the United pecking order

Solskjaer is looking to bolster his squad, with reports in Turkey claiming he wants to bring in Casemiro and Marcus Rashford.

The Brazilian midfielder has started just three Premier League games since Ruben Amorim arrived at Old Trafford in November.

It is thought that United would be willing to sell Casemiro this month should they receive a big enough offer and there is also interest from Saudi Arabian sides.

As for Rashford, the wantaway star has also struggled for game time under Amorim and has been missing from the last five matchday squads.

He has been linked with loan moves away to the likes of AC Milan, Monaco, Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona.

But the Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages has proved a major stumbling block.

Besiktas could reportedly make a late swoop to reunite him with Solskjaer if other clubs cannot complete a deal.

The Turkish side can offer Rashford a final escape route as the Super Lig transfer window does not slam shut until February 11.

Solskjaer has been asked about the rumours, saying: "There's always a lot of speculation about Manchester United players, always a lot of speculation around me.

"Casemiro, Marcus - two very good players, but I have not spoken to any of them."
