Manchester United are hoping to join the Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado during the summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old needs to leave the Spanish club in order to play more often, and moving to the Premier League could be ideal for him. Manchester United need a replacement for Casemiro, and they are likely to be able to offer the 23-year-old more opportunities.
Man United could use Marc Casado
Casado is excellent at breaking up the play and winning the ball for his team. He’s a young player with a lot of potential, and he could be the ideal long-term investment for Manchester United. Casado has been hailed as an “animal”.
The opportunity to play for one of the best clubs in England will be exciting for the midfielder. He has struggled to find opportunities at Barcelona, playing just over 1,300 minutes in all competitions last season. He needs more time in order to develop and fulfil his potential.

Man United could have edge in Casado chase
According to reports from MundoDeportivo, Manchester United has close ties with his agent, Jorge Mendes, who could help them get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether they can agree on a reasonable deal with Barcelona. They need to improve multiple areas of the squad, and they will not want to overspend.
Casado has the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League, and he could be an important player for Manchester United. If they can sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could be a masterstroke in the long-term.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will look to improve this summer and needs to get rid of their fringe players. Selling the 23-year-old would be ideal for them as well.
