"It is an uncertain time at United following the sacking of Ruben Amorim earlier this month, with former midfielder Michael Carrick installed as interim manager until the end of the season as the club look for a new permanent head coach. But that hasn't stopped the Old Trafford hierarchy pressing ahead with their plans for the January transfer window and they have now opened talks with one target."
"Carrick immediately made changes to United's midfield following his appointment as interim boss, with Kobbie Mainoo handed his first Premier League start of the season in Saturday's 2-0 derby win over Manchester City. The England international partnered Casemiro in the centre of the park, while Bruno Fernandes started in the advanced role and Manuel Ugarte came off the bench.

"And more midfield changes could be on the horizon, with United reportedly opening talks with Barcelona over Spain international Marc Casado. According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, as quoted by Sport Witness, the Premier League giants have initiated contact to enquire about the 22-year-old defensive midfielder, with rock-bottom Wolves also interested. The report states that Casado is a long-term target of Atletico Madrid, who are looking for a new midfielder following Conor Gallagher's move to Tottenham Hotspur this month, but the player would prefer to move abroad."

Wolves also have interest in Casado. Atletico Madrid view Casado as a long-term target after Conor Gallagher's move to Tottenham, but the player would prefer a move abroad. Barcelona have not yet received a formal offer for the academy graduate.
