Man United transfer news LIVE: Manchester United AGREE £60m deal to sign Casemiro

Casemiro told coach Carlo Ancelotti of his decision to join United as the two met for talks on Wednesday evening after the 30-year-old was informed by Madrid president Florentino Perez that he could choose whether he wished to stay or go.

Ancelotti values the Brazilian highly who has won 18 titles during his nine seasons at Los Blancos dominating the midfield with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.

However, the midfielder is excited by the prospect of a new challenge in the Premier League of helping to revive United’s flagging fortunes while the lucrative figures on offer make economic sense for the club and player.

Casemiro has three years left on his contract with Real but following the signing of Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco his place is under threat. Casemiro was on the bench last week with Tchouameni starting.

A United delegation travelled to the Spanish capital earlier this week to sound out Madrid’s hierarchy about the prospective move and hope to have it completed by Monday.

Though Casemiro is not the profile of player United had first pursued, Erik ten Hag believes his experience and knowledge can prove invaluable to his new team.

United had wanted a ball-playing number six but Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong is more inclined to join Chelsea should he leave while the demands of Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot were considered too high. Once Casemiro is agreed, United will focus on adding a forward, right-back and back-up goalkeeper.
