Manchester United are set to continue their midfield rebuild with one more signing in the centre of the park after completing deals for Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans.<\/p>\n
Santos and Tielemans raise the technical level of United\u2019s engine room. However, as good as United will now be on the ball, the squad still needs a tireless runner, an athletic midfielder who can cover ground relentlessly.<\/p>\n
The latest report from Teamtalk shows United have a brilliant chance of signing such a midfielder: Marc Casado.<\/p>\n
Marc Casado: Chelsea, Man City snubbed<\/h2>\n
As per the UK outlet, \u201cCasado has turned down the prospect of joining Chelsea and Manchester City.\u201d<\/p>\n
The explanation follows: \u201cHe looks to secure a move that guarantees regular first-team football.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teamtalk goes on to highlight United as a likely destination despite fellow Premier League big hitters being snubbed.<\/p>\n
That said, INEOS need not let this chance slip. They can easily promise Casado ample game time, and mean it with Champions League football back at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
Why Married<\/h3>\n
Having missed out on some of their top defensive midfield targets, such as Aurelien Tchouameni and Elliot Anderson, United can turn to Casado as a brilliant defensive midfield signing.<\/p>\n
The Barcelona star is certainly the tireless runner this United team now yearns for.<\/p>\n
His relentless work rate, defensive aggression, and excellent stamina could perfectly complement the others in the engine room.<\/p>\n
He could easily arrive with a great chance of securing a regular spot, with his athleticism as his secret weapon.<\/p>\n
It is the worst-kept secret that United need a defensive midfielder to complete their midfield rebuild, and Casado is the ideal man for the job. A midfield destroyer, he once earned the description \u201cbarbaric\u201d from Bayern Munich\u2019s Bryan Zaragoza for his sheer dominance.<\/p>\n
