Manchester United are one of the three leading European clubs that are taking a closer look at an ‘heir-apparent’ to Casemiro, according to reports in Italy.
Casemiro impressed in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign at Old Trafford after a superb impact for the Red Devils in the Europa League campaign.
The 33-year-old Manchester United midfielder re-established his role in the first-team squad under Ruben Amorim after the former Sporting CP manager’s arrival.
Casemiro reported for pre-season training at Carrington last week and the former Real Madrid ace is expected to stay at Old Trafford for the 2025-26 campaign.
The Brazil international’s long-term future at the Premier League club under Ruben Amorim remains in doubt and Casemiro is out of contract with United in 2026.
Casemiro made 42 appearances across all competitions for United last season and the ex-Los Blancos star netted five times and registered three assists for his side.
