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.”

Casemiro looked certain to be a high-profile summer exit as he has received interest from Saudi Arabia.

Despite being under pressure for the most of the match, Man Utd appeared to be able to hold out for a draw because of Radek Vitek, their stand-in goalie.

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