Manchester United are ready to replace Casemiro with the signing of Benfica wonderkid Joao Neves this summer, according to Record.

  • Casemiro has had a poor second season with the Red Devils and he has been fancied to move on when the transfer window reopens.

    Record claim that Sir Jim Ratcliffe does not see the Brazilian in his plans and he could make a move to the Saudi Pro League soon.

    Neves has been identified as the player to rejuvenate the club's midfield and the hierarchy are prepared to pay €100m for his services.

    Benfica would ideally like to keep the 19-year-old for another 12 months, but they are unlikely to turn down a nine-figure transfer sum.

    United have been monitoring the teenager for a number of months and they are prepared to make a formal approach in the near future.

    Aside from Casemiro, the Red Devils are expected to part ways with Sofyan Amrabat after his unsuccessful loan spell from Fiorentina.
