Casemiro and De Jong? decent midfield i would say 
Casemiro | United Player
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Now this is the guy we should be offering 50M for. He’s not ever going to leave Madrid though
Would expect Madrid to time his sale to perfection, won’t be yet though
More realistic next season if/when Tchoumeni settles in
Time for Agent Varane to step up.
Hahahahahaha, he's 30 years old too unless he's a stop gap for 3 years.
not happening
not happening
Would be a godsend for us as he's still the best DM in the world but why would he leave the reigning Spanish and European champions to join us??
He's still an unquestioned starter there

Last year they signed Ronaldo and it worked to shut up the fans. This year I feel like Arnold, Murtough and the Glazers have a list of known players that they randomly select to link to the club in order to shut up the fans. Then at the end they can say, the money was there but we just couldn’t get the players to come.
Sad thing is there’s probably a generation growing up in South America who associate Manchester with Manchester City, and if they are aware of United think of us as “that other club that’s always getting beaten badly”
Why would he want this. Surprised he's only 30. Not a chance.
Name out there to appease fans, not realistic
Can Madrid be nice to us and loan him for 2 years ? They have Camavinga and Tchouameni to fill in.
Tchouameni, World Cup year and Fabinho.
Nah, it's coming from the Spanish side. It'll just be new contract o'clock.
He has already won 4-5 champions league and handful of la Liga. He is looking for a fresh challenge and wants to help us finish in the top 10.

Tchouameni is far from ready to fill his shoes just yet...Ancelotti admitted it himseld on the weekend.
Casemiro is still the unquestioned starter there and he'll be the unquestioned starter for Brazil as well
yeah watching Casemiro, modric, kroos morph into Tchouameni, Camavinga, Valverde whilst we probably continue with mcfred for the next couple of years is going to be painful
Hey if it's one of Glazer's mad statement signings, they could do a lot worse.
Absolute shithouse. Get him in....
Not all the clubs are as shit at selling players as we are. Madrid understands when to sell - now is a great time to monetise Casemiro. Next year he would probably yield only half the fee, if that.
They do but he's coming off a season where he ended up on the Ballon D'Or shortlist and is still an integral part of their squad, they won't move him this summer. Their manager would never sanction it and I doubt the player would want to leave either.
Maybe next year when Tchouameni has more experience and if he has a dip in form, absolutely can't see it happening though even if we weren't a dumpster fire currently
There is no way in hell Casemiro is going to be sold this season.
Modric and Kroos get's lot's of praise along with Benzema. However Casemiro is as important if not more. Casemiro was the first proper replacement for Makelele and he came one decade later.
Real Madrid first choice defensive midfielder is Casemiro. And he is still miles better then Tchoumeini. Maybe in 2-3 season he will be sold.
There is no point in selling Casemiro for 50-60 million. You can't get anything decent these days for that kind of Money.

There's no way Casemiro is having any of it.
Get Modric and Kroos while at it. Go from the worst midfield to the best.
Not gonna happen. If it did, I‘d be delighted.
Modric at the ripe age of 36, seems like a wise move
He'd still be the 2nd best midfielder in the league tbh
Casemiro might have been interested in joining United (under the present circumstances at Real) had we demonstrated that we're something of a force to be reckoned with this season and next. But no one opts to leave the CL holder to a bottom-dweller like United, even if it is United.
I don't think there's anything to it, but the Glazers wouldn't be beyond doubling his wages if they sense a crisis that would make the club's value plummet.
He's making 215k euros at Madrid? I could see us offer 400k gbp a week on a 4 year contract with performance bonuses. He's 30, has won everything and could be thinking about how to maximize his income in his final career years.
Again, I think it's a non story, but I doubt anyone else would be paying him as much as we would be prepared to. That is a lot of retirement money after all.
Don't want this to happen. I've watched Madrid a lot over the last 3-4 years, he's a brilliant player but if he does come it would be to collect retirement money which is not what's needed, we need young and hungry midfielders right now not this.
Isn't this just his people doing a Ramos? Link to gullible incompetent United and shazam: new contract.
We need quality in midfield and he would be the absolute best/top of the class option we could get at that position.
Unfortunately I think it's even more pie in the sky than De Jong at this point.
On the last part, the young and hungry midfielders aren't looking to join us anymore nowadays...
I disagree. A young hungry midfielder would be swallowed alive by the shit mentality of our senior players. Like Sancho who is clearly being dragged down by their nonsense. We need leaders who can drag us out of the loser mentality.
Why on earth would he come here?
2nd?
De Bruyne is fast becoming one of the best midfielders the PL has ever seen before our eyes recently so yes would be hard to put Modric ahead of him.
Doesn't take anything away from him though, Modric is an all-timer and his resume will stack up with anyone ever when he's done.
My thinking is it would take somebody to come in and want to win and change the whole culture of the team. Casemiro coming in at 30 on sky high wages having already won it all may not have the right incentive to want to change things as much.
One thing about Madrid is they do seem to get rid of their players at the perfect time. I can see them accepting a big bid for Casemiro now Tchouameni and Camavinga are there.
I disagree with the bolded, we could easily get Caicedo from Brighton or a Bennacer from Milan.
He's 30 and signed a new, 4-year contract last summer. He's unlikely to go anywhere given those circumstances.
If it was so easy we would be able to do it but I can't remember the last time we got a hungry young player off of a PL rival. Maybe Lukaku but we know how that turned out.
I'd bite Brightons hand off for Caicedo but I don't see it happening
I mean, if you offer us something in the region of €100M, sure, maybe we might sell
