The midfielder has emerged as the top target for Manchester United as Erik ten Hag pushes to sign an elite defensive midfielder this summer.

 

Manchester United have launched an ambitious attempt to convince the five-time Champions League winner to move to Old Trafford in the coming days.

 

 

They have offered him a lucrative contract, which almost doubles his current wages at Real Madrid.

 

And according to Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito TV, Manchester United are looking to get a deal over the line before Saturday.

 

 

The Brazilian believes that he might have reached the end of a cycle at Real Madrid and is prepared to enjoy a new challenge.

 

He is likely to go straight into Manchester United’s team while at Real Madrid he is no longer a certain starter despite Carlo Ancelotti’s admiration for him.

 

 

Manchester United are yet to contact Real Madrid but are dealing with them through Casemiro and his camp as they push to secure his signature as soon as possible.

 

Real Madrid believe that the next line of action will be an offer worth €60m from Manchester United if Casemiro agrees to move.
