Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is back on Manchester United's radar ahead of the summer transfer window and Casemiro could play a key role in convincing the player over a move to Old Trafford.
United had an initial transfer fee of £56.2million agreed with Barca last summer to sign the Dutch midfield maestro but ultimately no deal was struck as the player wanted to remain in the Catalan capital, where he is the highest-earning player.
De Jong is said to top United’s six-man shortlist for summer transfers with his former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag believing that the high-flying Red Devils can take advantage of Barca’s precarious financial situation – they need to reduce their wage bill ahead of next season – to pounce for his former star midfielder.
