MANCHESTER UNITED star Casemiro almost suffered a horrible injury during a FRIENDLY.

United were beaten 1-0 by Rosenborg at the Lerkendal Stadion in Norway in the first match of their pre-season tour.

Manchester United ace Casemiro almost suffered a horror injury against Rosenborg

Casemiro almost had his leg snapped in half during Man Utd’s pre-season tour

And the Red Devils’ manager Erik ten Hag almost saw last season’s stunning injury crisis restart just 18 minutes into the game.

Rosenborg’s Tomas Nemcik tried to move the ball forward but was stopped by Casemiro.

In his bid to win the ball back, Nemcik rammed the Brazilian’s shin with his left foot and almost snapped his leg in half.

The Slovakian saw a yellow card and thankfully the United star was able to get back up to his feet.

The Manchester giants’ fans were left in absolute stun at that sight and quickly stormed social media.

One supporter tweeted: “That tackle has NO reason to happen. Nearly cost us 20-30mil with one challenge.”

Another posted: “Casemiro getting snapped today.”

A third wrote: “Why would you do that in a preseason friendly its ridiculous.”

And that one gushed: “Bruh.”

Given Saudi Arabia’s interest in Casemiro, a high-profile summer exit seems certain.

Radek Vitek, Man Utd’s stand-in goaltender, seemed to be able to hold out for a draw despite being under siege for most of the game.

But Noah Holm scored with what was essentially the final kick of the match, giving the Norwegians the victory over the Red Devils.
