Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
The 32-year-old defensive midfielder has not been his best over the last 12 months and Manchester United would do well to find a quality alternative. Casemiro is in his 30s and he is unlikely to get better with time. The Red Devils should look to cash in on him and sign an upgrade.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ittihad are prepared to provide him with an exit route and they have already started discussions to sign the midfielder this summer, as per L’Equipe.
The 75-cap Brazilian international has had an exceptional career, but he is on the decline. Manchester United need better players if they want to compete for major trophies on a consistent basis. They should look to invest in a quality defensive midfielder this summer.

Meanwhile, a move to the Saudi Pro League could be ideal for Casemiro at this stage of his career. The lesser intensity would be a good fit for him and he would get to earn a substantial amount of money at this stage of his career as well.
It will be interesting to see if all parties can come to an agreement over the next few days.
Manchester United have been linked with defensive midfielders like Manuel Ugarte and it will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can bring him in as a replacement for the Brazilian international.
The former Real Madrid midfielder might not have been at his best in the Premier League last season, but he is certainly good enough for Saudi Arabian football and he could improve Al-ittihad immensely. Also, signing a decorated player like him would add greater global and commercial appeal to the league.
