Data proves it: Former Man United star now ideal replacement for Casemiro

Manchester United are desperate to bolster their midfield in the summer transfer window.

Manuel Ugarte has struggled to make a lasting impression and could be moved on, while Casemiro is already set to depart when his contract expires at the end of June.

With European football almost secured for next season, the Red Devils are in urgent need of at least two, if not three, high-quality midfield additions.

Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton are on the transfer wishlist.
