Manchester United appear to have moved on from their recent disappointment at missing out on three of their top targets with INEOS ramping up their search for Casemiro\u2019s ideal replacement.<\/p>\n
So far, it has been a tale of sorrow for the Red Devils, as the club have been priced out of moves for Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes.<\/p>\n
Alex Scott of Bournemouth was identified as their next best bet, but even that pursuit could prove futile.<\/p>\n
This is why the 20-time English league champions are now looking beyond the Premier League, with Aurelien Tchouameni emerging as their dream target.<\/p>\n
However, much will depend on Jose Mourinho\u2019s final decision regarding the Frenchman, which is why United are keeping alternative options ready.<\/p>\n
One of these alternatives is Felix Nmecha, whom Jason Wilcox knows well from their time at Manchester City. He is Premier League-proven, which will please INEOS.<\/p>\n
His form for Germany and Borussia Dortmund makes him a standout candidate to replace Casemiro, with the German star\u2019s physicality, defensive awareness, and technical ability on the ball sure to impress United head coach Michael Carrick.<\/p>\n
Dortmund are a selling club and have a great relationship with United, and INEOS will hope that will be enough, especially with Chelsea also sniffing around.<\/p>\n
Journalist Ekrem Konur has revealed that United are preparing an opening offer in the region of \u00a351 million for Felix Nmecha.<\/p>\n
\u201cUNITED PLOTTING \u20ac60M MIDFIELD BID! The Red Devils are ready to launch a massive \u20ac60M official offer for Borussia Dortmund\u2019s 25-year-old star! Chelsea are also monitoring, but United lead the race,\u201d Konur revealed on X<\/em> (formerly Twitter<\/em>).<\/p>\n It is unlikely that the bid will be accepted, as there were previous reports that the Bundesliga giants could hold out for as much as \u00a386 million. United will hope to meet somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old will have unfinished business should he agree to return to Manchester and might use this opportunity to show City what a mistake they made by letting him go.<\/p>\n Feature image Christof Koepsel via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
