Manchester United are reportedly planning to hand Casemiro the No.18 shirt once the formalities of his £60million switch from Real Madrid have been concluded.
A deal in principle was struck with the Spanish giants last week, with the Brazilian enforcer poised to become Erik ten Hag's fourth summer signing - and there are high hopes that the multi-time Champions League winner can finally solve Manchester United's long-standing midfield issues.
There are contrasting reports over Casemiro's current status for Monday night's clash against Liverpool, where United were hoping to unveil their newest recruit. However, Marca are claiming that a visa issue has now been resolved and that Casemiro is set to be handed the same iconic number that was worn by Paul Scholes when he is presented to fans.
