Casemiro is set to play his final game for Manchester United, leaving a midfield gap. The club has renewed optimism after Michael Carrick guided a strong second half of the season and a third-place finish that secured Champions League qualification. Casemiro was a key part of that rise, despite earlier struggles to find his best form. Manchester United have identified two potential midfield targets for next season. One is Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, who has been a consistent performer since joining in 2023 but missed months due to a betting-related suspension. Tonali is also linked with Arsenal, and Newcastle could demand a high fee because his contract runs for at least three more years. Another option is Atalanta midfielder Ederson, a Brazilian with three international caps who missed out on a place in the 2026 World Cup squad.
"Casemiro is set to play his final game for Manchester United on Sunday - and the club are already lining up TWO potential replacements. There will be renewed optimism at last at Old Trafford this summer after Michael Carrick guided the club to a superb second half of the season and a third-place finish that qualified United for the Champions League. The Brazilian midfielder has been a key player in that rise and leaves the club with a lot of admirers despite his prior difficulties finding his best form for the club."
"Italian journalist Gianluca DiMarzio claims that Manchester United have already identified two targets to help Carrick compete on multiple fronts next season. The first is Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, whose future has been the subject of speculation after such a poor season for Eddie Howe's side as a whole. Arsenal are also said to be interested in Sandro Tonali, suggesting there could be a bit of a battle for his signature."
"Tonali has also been recently linked with a move to Arsenal this summer, suggesting there could be a bit of a battle for his signature. The Italian has been one of Newcastle's more consistent performers since arriving at the club in 2023, despite missing several months to a betting-related suspension. Newcastle could be expected to command a pretty hefty fee for Tonali's services, however, with his contract not set to expire for another three years at least."
"That may mean that United cast their eyes elsewhere - and Atalanta midfielder Ederson might just fit the bill.
