Further down the list of potential recruits are Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton and Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes. Wharton has seen his profile skyrocket in London and is expected to leave the Eagles after the World Cup, having already drawn interest from European giants like Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. United see him as a decent option for the base of their midfield, capable of dictating play in the way Casemiro has done throughout his trophy-laden career.
Finally, Joao Gomes remains a player of interest, particularly with Wolves currently embroiled in a relegation battle. The midfielder is reportedly holding out for a call from Old Trafford, and like Guimaraes, he is said to have the full backing of Casemiro. The veteran midfielder’s influence on the club's future recruitment remains significant even as he prepares to make his exit.
