Manchester United will lose Casemiro in four consecutive domestic league games. This is a big loss for coach Erik ten Hag as the Red Devils show their dependence on the 31-year-old.
Man Utd may now have to rely on Fred and Scott McTominay – both often underperforming. Lucky for Man Utd when the summer transfer window is coming.
And with Casemiro being easily disciplined by his rolling style, not afraid of collisions on the field, the Red Devils clearly need an alternative whenever the Brazilian midfielder is absent.
Here are 4 cheap and quality goals for Man Utd to pursue in the summer of 2023.
Youri Tielemans
Tielemans is a quality player.
When it was reported that Christian Eriksen would be sidelined until the end of the season in January, many fans asked the club to bring in Tielemans. In the end, that did not happen when Man Utd asked to borrow Marcel Sabitzer from Bayern Munich.
But Tielemans has yet to renew his contract with Leicester City. And his contract expires at the end of the season. Certainly, the Tielemans deal is not as exciting as the potential deals for Frenkie de Jong and Jude Bellingham.
However, Tielemans is a top player and will give United another strong option in midfield.
N’Golo Kante – The Best Of N’Golo Kante
Kante is not out of time.
Over the past few months, there have been rumors of Kante potentially staying at Chelsea. However, like Tielemans, the French international’s contract expires in the summer and no extension clause has been signed.
Man United had their eyes on a potential push for Kante in 2019, when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over. Currently, Kante is an excellent player. And if Chelsea are no longer needed, it is undeniable that Kante will be a useful free agent for Man Utd to target.
Adrien Rabiot
Rabiot has played well this season.
Rabiot almost became a Man United player. The Red Devils were interested in the Juventus midfielder last summer, but for various reasons, the deal failed.
At the moment, the value of the French player is raised after a series of impressive performances at the 2022 World Cup.
Rabiot has his problems, but if Man Utd can sign him for free and make the player happy, he will be the perfect replacement for Casemiro .
Toni Kroos
Kroos can leave Real.
Another player could have been a Man Utd player. The Germany international was a target of David Moyes in 2014, only when the coach was sacked did everything change.
Since then, Kroos has established himself as one of the best midfielders, winning every major trophy in Spain.
At this time, Real Madrid has not yet tied Kroos to a new contract. Kroos will be a risk due to his age but still a world class leader. Therefore, he should be a player in the sights of the Red Devils.
