Pape Gueye: United target shares exciting update on his future
Pape Gueye: United target shares exciting update on his future Manchester United may have received a lifeline in their pursuit of Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye. The Senegalese midfielder has been in top form for Villarreal this season and is now a wanted man ahead of the summer. Gueye is a product of the Le Havre academy and moved to Marseille in the summer of 2020.
However, it was only after joining Villarreal in the summer of 2024 that he finally began to turn heads across Europe. Last season, the 27 year old registered five goals in 36 appearances, but he has taken his game to a higher level this campaign. Gueye has racked up four goals and two assists in 32 games for the Yellow Submarine so far this season, 27 of which have been starts.

United are all set to part ways with Casemiro, who will leave once his contract expires at the end of this season. The Brazilian has been in resurgent form this season and has been an indispensable member of the starting XI under both caretaker manager Michael Carrick and his predecessor, Ruben Amorim. However, Casemiro recently turned 34 and is already in the final phase of his career.
The player is also one of the highest earners at the Theatre of Dreams, and United are looking to trim their wage bill this summer. Given the Brazilian’s importance this season, it is pivotal that the Red Devils sign a suitable replacement before the start of the new campaign. While Premier League-proven candidates like Elliot Anderson , Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton are on INEOS’ radar, they are also eyeing rising stars from foreign leagues.
