Manchester United shortlists Brazilian midfielder as Casemiro's replacement: Reports
Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Brazilian midfielder Andre as a replacement for former Real Madrid star Casemiro, as per Football Transfers.
Casemiro, who joined Manchester United from Real Madrid in 2022, hasn't been in his best form this season. The 32-year-old was sidelined due to a knock from October to December. He has made 24 appearances for the Red Devils across different competitions this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
As a result, the Red Devils are reportedly shortlisting candidates for Casemiro's potential replacement at Old Trafford. The list already contains the names of Joao Neves, Joao Gomes, and Youssouf Fofana. Andre's name has become a new inductee on the list.
The 22-year-old Brazilian currently plays for Fluminense, primarily as a defensive midfielder. Andre has made 182 appearances for the senior team of Fluminense, bagging four goals and three assists. He has also played five matches for Brazil.
