Marc Casado: United target makes major call on Barcelona future
Marc Casado: United target makes major call on Barcelona future Manchester United’s pursuit of a new midfielder this summer has received an unexpected boost. The Red Devils want to add a new midfielder to their squad before the start of the new season to fill Casemiro’s boots. The Brazilian midfielder has rolled back the years this campaign, but will leave the Theatre of Dreams as a free agent this summer.
The Premier League giants would ideally like to sign a Premier League-proven candidate to bolster their midfield, although they are also monitoring talents from foreign leagues. United’s top midfield target, Elliot Anderson, appears to have set his sights on a move to Manchester City instead. However, the Red Devils also have several other candidates on their wishlist, including Sandro Tonali, Adam Wharton, Carlos Baleba and Joao Gomes.
A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person has also suggested that the Premier League giants are eyeing Barcelona’s Marc Casado . Casado’s rise at Camp Nou Casado is a product of the fabled La Masia and broke into the senior side last season, going on to register 36 appearances in all competitions. The Spaniard’s composure, eye for a pass, and ability on the ball attracted attention last summer, but a move never materialised.
His ability to operate in midfield and right-back has also prompted his teammates to compare him to Bayern Munich legend Joshua Kimmich. Unfortunately, Casado has struggled for game time this season, registering one assist in 29 appearances in all competitions, 14 of which have been starts.

With Pedri and Frenkie de Jong ahead of him in the pecking order, and Marc Bernal already considered the long-term replacement for Sergio Busquets, Casado’s situation remains fragile. A recent report relayed by The Peoples Person states that the Catalans want the player to stay and are considering his renewal. It was previously believed that the Spaniard would make a decision on his future at the end of the season, but it now appears that he is losing patience at Camp Nou.
