Manchester United have approached Real Madrid about the possibility of signing midfielder Casemiro.
The 30-year-old is under contract at Real until 2025 and played an instrumental role in their Champions League final victory over Liverpool in May.
It is unclear if Casemiro is remotely receptive to joining United or whether his representative is using United as a negotiation tactic to obtain an improved salary, but sources say Casemiro is deemed more attainable than Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong.
