Murillo Drops Bombshell Condition Before Signing for Manchester United
In what may be the most dramatic transfer twist of the January window, Nottingham Forest star Murillo Anderson has revealed a shocking personal condition before agreeing to join Manchester United.
According to sources close to the 21-year-old defender, Murillo has already accepted Manchester United’s proposal, but he has made it clear that one issue stands in the way of finalizing the deal:
He refuses to share the same dressing room with Casemiro.
The Brazilian defender reportedly told Forest officials and intermediaries:
“I have agreed to join Manchester United, but the truth is I cannot share the same dressing room with this particular United player. He needs to leave before I arrive.”
The revelation has sent shockwaves across English football — and has now forced Manchester United into a delicate internal dilemma.
Why Murillo Doesn’t Want Casemiro at Old Trafford
While the full details remain behind closed doors, multiple sources suggest Murillo and Casemiro have a strained relationship that dates back years.
Reports from Brazil claim:
- The two clashed during a national training camp
- A long-standing personal disagreement has never been resolved
- Murillo believes Casemiro’s presence creates “unnecessary tension”
One insider added:
“Murillo respects Casemiro as a player, but personally, he doesn’t want to be anywhere near him.”
This private tension has now become a major stumbling block in what should have been a straightforward transfer.
Manchester United Board Caught in a Tough Spot
The Manchester United hierarchy is now assessing the situation carefully.
Murillo is seen as one of Europe’s brightest young centre-backs — a long-term solution for the club’s defensive rebuild.
Casemiro, on the other hand, has struggled with form, fitness, and consistency this season, leading many to believe he could be sold in the summer.
But Murillo’s demand complicates everything.
The board must decide:
- Sell Casemiro sooner than planned?
- Risk losing one of their top defensive targets?
- Or attempt to mediate between both players?
Sources say the issue is “urgent” and discussions have already begun behind the scenes.
Fans React: Shock, Anger, and Debate
The breaking news has immediately sparked debate across social media.
Some fans support Murillo’s stance:
“Casemiro is declining fast. If Murillo wants him gone, let him go.”
Others are furious:
“A new signing cannot dictate who stays and who leaves. This is disrespectful.”
And a third group is simply stunned by the drama:
“Manchester United cannot breathe without something happening every week.”
The situation has only intensified the pressure on the United board.
Why Murillo Is So Important to United’s Rebuild
Manchester United see Murillo as:
- A long-term defensive leader
- A ball-playing centre-back perfect for modern football
- A player who can transform United’s backline
- A key part of the project under the next manager
His age, talent, and Premier League experience make him a near-perfect fit — and losing him would be a major setback.
That is why the board is considering all options, including Casemiro’s early exit.
What Happens Next?
Intermediaries are currently trying to calm the situation, but insider reports suggest Murillo is firm in his stance.
If Manchester United want him in January:
Casemiro must go.
This unusual transfer condition has created one of the most surprising storylines of the season — and the next 48 hours could determine whether the move collapses or goes through.
Conclusion: Ready to Sign — But Only One Condition Stands in the Way
Murillo has given Manchester United a clear message:
He wants to join.
He is ready to sign.
But he will NOT work with Casemiro.
Now the decision falls entirely on the Manchester United board.
