Casemiro was not on new boss Erik ten Hag’s initial list of transfer targets in his first transfer window at Old Trafford.
Frenkie de Jong was the No1 name.
However, despite agreeing a fee of around £74m with Barcelona, United were unable to convince the Dutchman to move.

But a swoop for Guimaraes would not come cheap.
It’s believed Newcastle would demand more than double the £43m they paid to sign him in January to let the midfielder leave.

The 24-year-old has established himself as a key man on Tyneside, and is a key part of Eddie Howe’s project going forward.
So it would take a mega-money bid in order for Toon to even consider parting ways with one of their prized assets.
