The Red Devils are close to signing Casemiro, a defensive midfielder from Real Madrid, for a reported sum of PS70m (Paul Hirst).
Although unlikely to play against Liverpool on Monday, the South American is expected to arrive in Manchester soon (Fabrizio Romeo).
This industrious Brazilian would be Erik ten Hag’s most expensive signing. However, he is not the only high-profile player being linked to a dramatic switch to Old Trafford.
Antony, Ajax’s winger, is also believed to be attempting to reunite with his former manager. According to Santi Aouna (French journalist), United are preparing to make a PS85m (EUR100m), offer to the 22-year old winger.
But, ten Hag does not have Aaron Wan-Bissaka or Diogo Dalot at his disposal, and the 52-year old feels that the right-back position is a weakness.
It is rumoured that Sergino Delaney (USMNT full-back) is keen to sign a deal with Barcelona. The USMNT has two more weeks of transfer window, which could see Casemiro join the team.
