da bet vitoria: Manchester United are interested in signing Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, according to Diario Gol.
What’s the story?
da roleta: The Brazilian has become an important figure in Zinedine Zidane’s team over the last few seasons, even though he has been at the club since 2013.
The 25-year-old has started seven of Los Blancos’ nine La Liga games so far and all three of the club’s Champions League fixtures.
Diario Gol reports that Casemiro is on United’s radar as manager Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his defensive options in midfield.
However, there are suggestions that the Red Devils’ interest could be used to persuade Madrid into offering Casemiro a pay rise.
Should United be wary?
In short, yes. These situations have played out before when the likes of a big-name star uses another club to force their current outfit’s hand.
There have been no indications that Casemiro is unhappy at the Bernabeu or is even open to moving on elsewhere.
In the past, rumours of a sensational return to Old Trafford for Cristiano Ronaldo have emerged, only for the four-time Ballon d’Or winner to sign fresh terms at Madrid.
A club of United’s stature should not allow themselves to get dragged into a cat and mouse situation, particularly if the player has no desire to join them.
