Neymar is reportedly in talks with Manchester United about making a stunning transfer this year, joining their roster of Brazilian talents there, which also includes Casemiro.

Neymar has been linked to an ᴜɴᴇxᴘᴇᴄᴛᴇᴅ move to Manchester United, and the superstar of Paris Saint-Germain has already praised Casemiro, his Brazilian national team teammate, for his influence.

After nine trophy-filled years at Real Madrid, where he won five Champions League titles playing at the base of a midfield with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, Casemiro left for United in a £70 million transfer last summer. The triumvirate established a powerful alliance that largely controlled Europe.

The addition of the Brazilian this season has significantly changed Erik ten Hag’s squad. He has given a team that sorely needed these qualities balance, control, and structure. He should consider it regrettable that he is not a candidate for the Premier League Player of the Year title.

There are other Brazilians at Old Trafford besides Casemiro. Erik ten Hag’s team also includes his international teammates Fred and Anthony, who arrived last summer from Ajax. They are currently mentioned in connection with a stunning Neymar move.

Neymar could quit Paris Saint-Germain this summer after six seasons with the club, according to an exclusive report from Mirror Football. Despite ʀᴜᴍᴏʀs that conversations have begun, it seems unlikely that United are considering adding the forward to their roster.

The only practical way for Neymar to leave the Parc des Princes this summer is the Premier League, and United is one of the few teams who could afford to make an approach. If that ever happened, Neymar has already made it plain how he feels about Casemiro.

Casemiro was instrumental in his country’s World Cup victory over Switzerland in the group stage after scoring in ɪɴᴊᴜʀʏ time to give Tite’s team a tough but well-earned victory. Neymar was unable to participate in the victory due to ɪɴᴊᴜʀʏ.

Following his country’s victory, the Paris Saint-Germain star paid tribute to his international teammate on Twitter, writing: “Casemiro has been the best midfielder in the world for a long time.”

United are now in a state of turmoil as there is great ambiguity around the ownership of the team. Despite their intentions to listen to proposals – both majority and minority investments – coming over six months ago, the Glazer family has consistently extended their deadline to finalize a sale of the club while the Old Trafford ownership position is still unknown.

Early this month saw the third and final deadline for bids, with a consortium led by Qatari financier Sheikh Jassim competing against a bid from INEOS, which is run by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the richest man in Britain. The Glazers are still in charge, however, and they could still decide how the team makes transfers.
