Antony at Carrington ahead of sealing United transfer switch
Erik ten Hag transfer decision has denied Casemiro his dream Manchester United shirt number
17.08.2022 - 16:09 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United have reached out to Spanish giants Real Madrid about the prospect of signing midfielder Casemiro.
The Manchester Evening News understands that United, who were beaten 4-0 by Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, view Casemiro as a more attainable target than Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. The Reds are desperate to strengthen their midfield options before the transfer window closes and have seen their move for Adrien Rabiot collapse due to his wage demands.
It is unclear whether Casemiro would be open to joining United, as he is under contract at Madrid until 2025 and remains a key player in manager Carlo Ancelotti's plans. It is also possible that his agent could be using the Reds in a bid to increase his client's salary in the Spanish capital.

United's recent defeats to Brighton and Brentford have highlighted just how desperate they are for midfield reinforcements. De Jong, who has been tracked by United since May, remains an active target, but there are growing doubts that a deal will be concluded.
Should that fail, Casemiro would be a welcome alternative, although United will find it difficult to lure the Brazilian to Old Trafford, based purely on the differentiating circumstances between themselves and Madrid at this moment in time. The Spanish club are the current Champions League holders while United are preparing for a campaign in the Europa League.
But if United are to strike lucky in their efforts to bring the Brazil international to M16, it would send out a big statement of intent. He would be a fantastic addition and would instantly strengthen their midfield options.
