CASEMIRO has reportedly emerged as a priority target for Manchester United in the middle of the park.

However, it seems as though Casemiro has emerged as the chosen one and it remains to be seen whether a full agreement can be reached in the not-too-distant future. United are said to have stepped up their pursuit of Casemiro after missing out on the signing of Adrien Rabiot, who was recently in talks with the club but is not expected to join Erik ten Hag's squad as a result of his exorbitant wage demands. Ancelotti's admiration for the player could potentially spell trouble with regards to United's hopes of snapping him up over the next few days, though. United were previously left frustrated in their efforts to sign Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona before pulling out of a move for Rabiot earlier this month over the Frenchman's lucrative salary expectations. He carries the ball well but he doesn’t have Casemiro’s tactical ability, I’ve never had a pivot like him." But other players can play as a pivot.

The move for Casemiro is expected to spark a flurry of activity from Manchester United in the final days of the transfer window. The Brazilian, though, doesn't want to mull over the decision for too long as a final decision is expected soon. The move for Casemiro was originally described as a "long shot" from Manchester United insiders - but such has been the rapid progress this week that there is now strong belief he will head to Old Trafford.
