MANCHESTER UNITED’s Casemiro nearly sustained a catastrophic injury during a FRIENDLY.

United’s pre-season tour began with a 1-0 loss to Rosenborg at Norway’s Lerkendal Stadion.

Manchester United’s Casemiro almost suffered a serious injury at Rosenborg.

Casemiro was on the receiving end of an X-rated tackle during Man United’s friendly against Rosenborg.

During Manchester United’s pre-season tour, Casemiro nearly shattered his leg, and manager Erik ten Hag had to deal with a resurgence of last season’s injury crisis within 18 minutes of the game.

Rosenborg’s Tomas Nemcik attempted to advance the ball, but was stopped by Casemiro.

In an attempt to regain the ball, Nemcik slammed his left foot into the Brazilian’s shin, nearly breaking his leg in two.

The Slovakian was shown a yellow card, but the United star recovered and continued playing.

Manchester United fans were astonished by the sight and immediately rushed to social media to voice their disbelief.

One supporter tweeted, “That tackle has absolutely no justification to occur. With just one work, we almost spent $20-30 million.”

Another user said, “Casemiro getting snapped today.”

Another fan commented, “Why would you do that in a preseason friendly? It’s ridiculous.”

And that person yelled, “Bruh.”

Casemiro appeared to be a high-profile summer departure, with Saudi Arabia expressing interest.

Manchester United were under siege for the majority of the game, but it appeared that they would hold on for a draw thanks to stand-in goalkeeper Radek Vitek.

However, Noah Holm scored with practically the final kick of the game, giving the Norwegians the win over the Red Devils.
