With just over a week to go until the summer transfer window slams shut, Manchester United are still actively searching to strengthen their squad before the bell.
United, who will be looking to get back to winning ways when they welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford on Saturday, have drafted in three new faces so far this summer, landing Andre Onana, Mason Mount and Rasmus Hojlund. However, some areas within their squad still require extra depth.
Among them, of course, is the central-midfield berth. Despite investing £60million in Mount, who will miss the clash with Forest through injury, United, as highlighted in their opening two games this season, desperately need to beef up that area of the team.
Casemiro, who excelled in his first season at Old Trafford last term, has not been provided with the support and competition he requires on the defensive side of the midfield operation. Mount, along with Bruno Fernandes, has operated too far away from the Brazilian, often leaving him exposed.
