Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro for 60m euros (£50.7m) plus 10m euros (£8.5m) in add ons.
Talks have progressed quickly and United are optimistic the deal for the Brazil international, 30, will be completed in the next few days.
Casemiro has been with Real since 2013, winning three La Liga titles and five Champions Leagues.

A much needed signing, and if we don’t end up ruining him, it will probably be our best midfield signing since Carrick. Just a shame we couldn’t get him a few years earlier.
Would be grate if we get one more in and a right back now too. I hear we are in for Caicedo now as well, that will actually make our midfield look half decent.
Casemiro fee agreed

Nah they ain’t that good. Neither of them can carry the ball or dictate play. They are both 10s like Bruno. Not gonna help control the midfield in the slightest. Again it’s terrible planning. It won’t work

Neither are 10s.
No point talking to you though... You have your created reality and nothing will steer you away from it.

It always makes me laugh when Nohlman calls people thick after making a twaaat out of himself.

This appears to be his life. He just creates his own reality.

He’s not very good on the ball. Nothing like his first choice midfielder. He’s not gonna help us build attacks and not particularly technical
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was ranked 5th for forward passes in La Liga last season. How will he not help us build attacks?
And that is alongside his excellent defensive stats:
Casemiro's impact can be seen by looking at Opta statistics to compare his figures against those of other central midfielders in La Liga last season.
The Brazil international ranked top for successful blocks, placed second for tackles made, behind Barcelona's Sergio Busquets, and also came third overall for possession won. Real Sociedad's Mikel Merino was first and Busquets runner-up in that latter category.

I wonder if in Ronaldo's mind this is playing out as getting the boys together for one last job.

I see we're now being linked with Lyon right back Malo Gusto.
It'd certainly be good to see United playing with Gusto.

Mal Gusto in Spanish translates as Bad Taste though.

I’m surprised Rob hasn’t recommended him.
