The Red Devils are preparing for a big change in the midfield department at the end of the campaign. Casemiro is expected to leave when his contract expires at the end of June. A replacement will be pursued for the 2026\/27 season.<\/p>\n Several big names have been linked with Man United and\u00a0Foot Mercato<\/em> now claim that Gueye is \u2018highly regarded\u2019 by the Red Devils. He is viewed as an \u2018ideal replacement\u2019 for Casemiro and a \u2018very tempting\u2019 offer could be made.<\/p>\n United made four top-notch signings during the last summer transfer window. Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brentford respectively, and have proved fine acquisitions in the final third.<\/p>\n Striker Benjamin Sesko and goalkeeper Senne Lammens were recruited from RB Leipzig and Antwerp overseas. The duo have also played a notable part for the Red Devils, who are pushing for a return to Champions League<\/a> football next campaign.<\/p>\n The midfield department could be the prime area of focus in the summer. Casemiro is guaranteed to depart when his contract concludes, while Manuel Ugarte could also move on, having failed to secure a regular starting berth for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n Kobbie Mainoo\u2019s re-emergence has meant that Ugarte has been a regular on the substitutes\u2019 bench. Hence, United may require more than one fresh solution in the centre of the park next season, and Gueye could be seen as a rotational player in the squad.<\/p>\n A marquee midfielder could be signed alongside the Senegalese star. Gueye, who was previously with Marseille in Ligue 1, has made vast improvement since his switch to Villarreal. He has impressed with his duel-winning ability and ball recoveries.<\/p>\n
According to French outlet Foot Mercato<\/span><\/a>, Manchester United<\/a> have identified Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye as an ideal replacement for outgoing star Casemiro<\/a> during the summer transfer<\/a> window.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
