The Brazilian could be the answer for the Red Devils
The few past year has been tough for Manchester United, who've began out this 2022/23 campaign off terribly under Erik ten Hag. As such, they're seeking out reinforcements and Casemiro is an alternative
Several names had been connected with a summer move to Old Trafford, across a variety of positions.
Manchester United have been linked with Alvaro Morata, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raul de Tomas and Matheus Cunha to reinforce the forward line, while the midfielder they've been most continuously linked with is Frenkie de Jong.
But, now there is the choice of Casemiro and a few Manchester United directors are actually in Madrid at this moment in time.
Real Madrid would prefer to keep the Brazilian as he is still a regular starter for Carlo Ancelotti, who he has an extra unique relationship with.
There hasn't even been a proposal made to Real Madrid yet, but the club directors are always keeping an eye on the market and the philosophy at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu has always been that anything could happen up till the deadline day.
If Casemiro were to leave, Ancelotti might still have his sidekicks Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, as well as Fede Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos and summer arrival Aurelien Tchouameni.
Casemiro: The Real Madrid legend who cost just 6m euros
It was back in 2013 when Casemiro arrived at Real Madrid from Sao Paulo. Ramon Martinez moved quickly and received a loan with an option to buy, an option that was carried out after he made his debut in the first team against Real Betis under Jose Mourinho.
The signing cost 6m euros, with Casemiro loaned to Porto to develop before returning in the summer of 2015 to be a steady in the team's midfield.
No bid has been received yet and Manchester United's priority is a centre-forward, but, in what has been a surprising transfer market overall, there is a possibility of Casemiro leaving the club to join Manchester United.
