Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club in recent months.
Casemiro is clearly not the player he used to be, and he is on the decline. According to a report from TEAMtalk, clubs from MLS are now pushing to sign him. The Brazilian international will be out of his contract soon, and there are uncertainties about whether he will be offered an extension. It remains to be seen what Manchester United are willing to do with him.
The veteran midfielder, who cost Manchester United £70 million, has been an elite performer throughout his career, but he is clearly on the decline right now. Moving to MLS could be ideal for Casemiro. Competing in a league with lesser quality and intensity could prolong his career.
The 33-year-old has proven himself in Europe with clubs like Real Madrid in the past, and this could be the ideal time for him to take on a new challenge. There have been links with Saudi Arabian clubs as well.
Manchester United need to replace Casemiro
Meanwhile, Manchester United will need to bring in quality players to replace him. They need more depth and ability in the midfield. Signing a quality defensive midfielder could make a big difference for them. They have invested in Manuel Ugarte, but the Uruguayan international has not been able to live up to expectations. He was expected to be the long-term replacement for Casemiro.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can find a suitable destination for the Brazilian international and replace him properly. They need to sort out their midfield if they want to compete for major trophies. They have been linked with players like Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba in recent months.
They have the finances to sign top-quality players, and it will be interesting to see who they end up with. Meanwhile, the South American midfielder will look to get his career back on track with regular football at a reasonably high level, and moving to MLS could be exciting for him.
