Premier League star valued at £47.5M is being tracked by Manchester United as a possible replacement for Casemiro

Manchester United will soon be focusing on strengthening their team for the upcoming January transfer window so they can achieve the greatest possible season finish.

There is a lot of pressure on Erik ten Hag and his team right now due to their worst ever Champions League run and sliding below the Premier League top four. Although they have taken some weight off themselves after their 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Anfield, they still have a long way to go before the season ends.

UniteԀ Һаve inviteԀ оffers fоr Cаsemirо, аntҺоny Mаrtiаl, RаpҺаel Vаrаne, аnԀ JаԀоn SаncҺо, in аԀԀitiоn tо pоssible new recruits аrriving next mоntҺ. аltҺоugҺ getting riԀ оf tҺe lаtter is currently tҺe club’s tоp gоаl, rumоr Һаs it tҺаt tҺey will nоt be trying tо cаsҺ in оn tҺe оtҺer tҺree plаyers in Jаnuаry.

Nonetheless, this week’s sources indicated that United football director John Murtough travelled to Saudi Arabia to promote the foursome.

United appear to be scouting a possible successor for Casemiro, even though his contract does not expire until 2026. Foot Mercato reports that Barcelona is also considering a move for Everton star Amadou Onana, and that Manchester United are’very keen’ in signing him.

Since receiving a ten-point deduction, the Toffees have been figҺting relegation this season. They have escaped the relegation zone for the time being, but their recent form has been so dismal that they may lose some important players this summer.

The article states that Everton has asked €55 million (£47.5m) for Onana, so they are apparently well aware of their situation and potentially trying to raise some money. The Belgium international has started twelve of his thirteen league games this season, and United “continue to monitor” his condition.

According to reports, Ten Hag ‘urged’ the United board to sign Onana in May due to his admiration for the physicality of the midfielder. Naturally, Onana has decided to remain at Everton, but that might change following another difficult season.
