Manchester United's quest to sign Casemiro's midfield replacement is arguably their most important piece of business this summer.

[p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/casemiro/Ukeq3c0b/"]Casemiro[/a] looked finished as a player last term, but the Brazilian has showcased his world-class qualities - particularly under Michael Carrick - with 11 goal involvements in the Premier League. [/p][p]A screen in front of the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-united/ppjDR086/"]United[/a] defence, as well as a difference maker in the final third, the 34-year-old has become irreplaceable. [/p][p]But having already confirmed that he will depart at the end of the campaign, the Red Devils must find a way to replace him, and there are several possibilities. [/p][p][b]Premier League players [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/anderson-elliott/KdYCbsbE/"]Elliot Anderson[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/wharton-adam/v5IYUpDm/"]Adam Wharton[/a], [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/baleba-carlos/UwTdoLQl/"]Carlos Baleba[/a] and [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/tonali-sandro/fmQVO5TQ/"]Sandro Tonali[/a] have all been linked, while [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/atalanta/8C9JjMXu/"]Atalanta[/a]'s [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/ederson/fqEsbNyA/"]Ederson[/a] is someone they've scouted abroad. [/b][/p][image alt="Ederson's recent stats" id="01c5d761-b2fc-486b-bf53-f95d7816abd7" credit-line="Flashscore" guid="24d464de-dc66-4666-85c3-ced554a3a932" original-width="1200" original-height="1200" /][p]According to [i]Sky[/i] reporter [i][b]Sacha Tavolieri[/b][/i], United are "closely monitoring" his situation, but as it stands, the most "concrete interest" is from the Serie A. [/p][p]Encouragingly for United, though, Ederson's "dream" move is the Premier League, and meetings have already taken place in recent weeks between the Brazilian's representatives and United. [/p][p]Ederson - who has made 40 appearances in all competitions this term - sees his contract expire in June 2027, with a cut-price deal potentially on the cards for United.[/p]
