Manchester United plot new ‘Casemiro style’ raid on Real Madrid for key star According to a report from SPORT , Manchester United are exploring a move that imitates their previous deal for Casemiro, this time targeting Real Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. Casemiro is expected to bring an end to his time at Manchester United after four seasons, closing a chapter that began with high expectations following his arrival from Real Madrid. With United likely to return to the Champions League next season, the club is already planning for his replacement.
The name at the top of their list is Tchouameni. The French midfielder fits the same profile that made Casemiro such an attractive signing – a physically dominant defensive midfielder capable of controlling transitions and protecting the back line. United’s idea is to replicate a similar transfer strategy that previously worked in convincing Casemiro.
Not an easy operation However, the situation is far more complicated this time, as Tchouameni is a structural figure in Real Madrid’s midfield. Despite what has been described as a largely underwhelming season for the club, the Frenchman has stood out as one of the most consistent performers. Manchester United are interested in Aurelien Tchouameni.

At 26 years old, Tchouameni is entering his prime and remains tied to the club with a contract running until 2028. On top of that, the Los Blancos are also planning a contract renewal for the Frenchman, making any potential deal extremely difficult from a financial standpoint.
