"Not exactly like for like but stories are circulating that Wythenshawe lad Cole Palmer is homesick at Chelsea and pondering a return to Manchester this summer. The twist is that he wouldn't be heading back to City as Palmer prefers the red of United the club he, wait for it, supported as a boy. United scouts were also reportedly in Spain last weekend to discuss on-loan Marcus Rashford's future and check out Real Sociedad's versatile midfielder/forward Mikel Oyarzabal."
"Casemiro's departure is likely to make Kobbie Mainoo's contract situation take on greater urgency. Totally out of favour under Ruben Amorim, the 20-year-old (he's still only 20!) made his first Premier League start of the season against Manchester City last weekend and is clearly part of Michael Carrick's plans. Mainoo has 18 months left on his deal and was previously linked with Napoli and other top clubs abroad while he twiddled his thumbs on the bench."
Casemiro will leave Manchester United when his contract expires, reducing weekly outgoings by around £350,000 and accelerating the search for midfield reinforcements. Cole Palmer is reportedly homesick at Chelsea and prefers a move to Manchester United rather than City. Scouts monitored Marcus Rashford's situation and evaluated Real Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal, both of whom scored in the Euro 2024 final. Casemiro's exit increases urgency around Kobbie Mainoo's contract; the 20-year-old recently started against Manchester City, has 18 months remaining on his deal, was linked with Napoli, and would require a significant wage rise. Vinicius Junior and Mohamed Salah are linked with potential moves to Saudi Arabia.
