According to the newspaper Marca and The Athletic, the Man Utd Are you interested in getting the services of Casemiro in this summer transfer market after a difficult start to the season in the Premier League and would be willing to make an offer of 60 million euros to close his incorporation.
The offer does not seem to be enough to get the Brazilian from the Santiago Bernabéu, but it cannot be ruled out that Florentino Pérez sees it as an opportunity to close his exit and have money to reinforce other positions, taking into account that Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga can take their place in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting team . Real Madrid does not rule out the possibility of negotiating for the Brazilian.
Is Casemiro the signing that Manchester United needs?
The main doubt comes from the side of Manchester United. Erik Ten Hag He has not been able to implement his idea of ​​the game in these early stages of the season and, beyond this, the feeling is that the team is far from competing at the expected level. The defeats against Brighton and Hove Albion and Brentford are only a reflection of the low collective and individual level of several pieces.
One of the areas that they need to reinforce is the midfield, taking into account the low level of names like Fred and Scott McTominay in these first games. At the same time, they don’t fit into the Dutch coach’s idea. Frenkie de Jong is the main objective of the club, but the footballer is not interested in moving to Old Trafford and this has generated interest in other pieces, for example, the Brazilian.
Casemiro, an unnecessary signing for Manchester United
What happens is that Casemiro is not the profile that Erik Ten Hag needs to implement his game idea. Despite being a player with top-level defensive qualities and not being denied with the ball as the vast majority of people think, the Brazilian is not a midfielder who stands out in the records required by the Red Devils coach. He is not good at turning against pairs when it comes to receiving from behind, he does not have a good filtered pass to connect with teammates who move between the lines and he is also not capable of organizing the collective from possession.
The main problems of the Manchester team go through their ball output. Faced with advanced and organized pressure, he can’t find a way out. Brighton and Brentford found their weaknesses very easily in the first few passes and managed to exploit them. Constant pressure on Lisandro MartÃnez and closing passing lanes in the mid lane, forcing Harry Maguire and David De Gea to make decisions without much room for success. The losses rained and the team ended up being naked. And the Brazilian would not be differential to remove the team from advanced pressures and position it in the rival field.
The presence of Casemiro can help raise the average level of the squad and would offer greater solidity to the structure, which the current Manchester United urgently needs, but it would not add the necessary features for Erik Ten Hag’s idea to have an effect in the current Premier League. Despite being a great player, he is an unnecessary and pointless signing for this moment of the project, it is not a coherent move for the current needs of the club.
In conclusion, it is not a necessary move.
