Manchester United : un Lion pour remplacer Casemiro
Manchester United is preparing for life after Casemiro. While the Manchester club has decided not to activate the Brazilian's contract extension option, AS reports that the recruitment team has made Pape Gueye its top priority for the summer of 2026.
Pape Gueye's explosion at Villarreal
Under Marcelino's guidance at Villarreal, the Senegalese midfielder has reached a new level in La Liga this season (2025-2026). His statistics attest to his maturity: 32 matches played, 6 goals scored, and an 85% pass completion rate. A robust ball-winner, the African champion has transformed into a modern box-to-box midfielder, capable of breaking lines and driving forward. This profile has reportedly completely won over Michael Carrick, tipped to stabilize Manchester United's technical project, according to the same source.
Why replace Casemiro?
Despite respectable statistics (5 goals), the newspaper continues, the weight of years is beginning to take its toll on the Brazilian. "His 7 yellow cards and recent sending-off demonstrate a growing lag in the face of the intensity of the Premier League."
While Manchester United are keeping an eye on Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid), the Pape Gueye deal is the most advanced. After blocking the player's transfer in January, the Spanish club is now ready to negotiate for the summer of 2026. The Pape Gueye-Kobbie Mainoo pairing is seen as the future backbone of the Red Devils, providing defensive solidity and physical presence, predicts L'AS.
