Al-ittihad in talks to sign Man United midfielder Casemiro

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.
