To earn de Gea level monies maybe? We may pay him 50% more than Real does, maybe even 75% more.
Casemiro | United Player

Well, according to a quick Google, he's already earning pretty well whilst playing in a world class team that's winning top trophies. No chance this is anything other than contract negotiation tactics, or just made up rubbish.
I agree, but players with strong collective mentalities who have the merits to force players to respect them is a lot better at doing that than a young kid trying to prove himself. We have a bunch of very senior players with loser mentalities- Shaw, Maguire, Rashford, Bruno (wake the feck up man), etc. Winners want to win - regardless of what is going on.
From the players we have been linked with, regardless of how realistic it is, Casemiro and de Jong are the only ones who fit that bill. Casemiro led Brazil during the debacle of the Copa America and de Jong is performing exceptionally despite the president of his club having launched a media smear campaign against him.
It is unrealistic that we get them, but we most definitely shouldn't discount them if we can get them.
In order to rectify the situation, we actually need to sign both de Jong and Casemiro. Then it will be a very good functional midfield
Id question why players even use us a ploy for contract renewals at this point, I imagine the club would just laugh it off at the thought of us buying a player from them.
Seems highly unlikely of course given his quality and the current state of United, but you do wonder how exactly Real are going to guarantee significant minutes to all of Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Tchouameni and Camavinga...
(I left Valverde out as I realise he is playing wide-right at the moment)

I'd rather throw everything at Valverde. Not that he or anyone else would want to join us right now.
A double pivot of de jong and casemiro is a tantalizing prospect indeed!
De jong casemiro
Eriksen(or bruno)
Shame there's no chance of it happens but a man can dream.Eriksen(or bruno)
Yeah we aren't City
I don't even get why people are bothering to discuss this 
I agree 100%.
Will never happen
I also agree with that 100%, doesn't make it any less true.
Why? I think 150m pounds would be enough to get both - and it would be monies well spent (besides we will then be able to offload McTominay to recoup 10% of the above, making it even better).
Where we getting that from
Well, 100m euro would be enough for de Jong (including covering wages), and it’s about 85m pounds. Then we have 65m pounds left - it’s more than 75m euro. Real may sell Casemiro for these monies considering his age and their squad depth
Pipe dream frustratingly

It’s the hope that will kill anyone thinking this has the remotest possibility of happening unless we do something dumb, even for us.

Aye great lets waste our time again going for another player we won't get. Can't believe this is actually real, surely it's not.
One season too early — but as for why; on£ reason only, right?
In an open market, you’d wonder how many clubs would be in for him; oil clubs that can outright outbid us; teams with serious CL aspirations. It’s not just why would he come here: he’d have his pick of stellar clubs, and rightly so.
No way we will allow Casemiro to leave.
Not a chance Real would sell or he would want to come. Some journalists are really quite stupid
When he says talks over Casemiro, he probably literally means Murtough and Arnold are spitballing, and one says to the other “what about Casemiro?”. I don’t believe either Real or the player would be up for it.
Doesn't surprise me besides why on earth would he want to??
What the feck kind of bullshit is this? We're struggling to get Juve outcast Rabiot, so our Rabiot back-up plan is the current best DM in the game today? I mean, what?
Deal for Sesko broke down. Looks like we'll have to move for Benzema instead.

There are internal discussions considering preparing to make a bid.
At this point, I think they are deliberately trolling the fans.
Are they Liverpool and City fans in disguise?

Yeah. Ben-Zimmer.
People seriously discuss this? I want some of what you're smoking...
Deliberating over whether or not to consider monitoring the player with a view to weigh up assessing whether or not we should prepare an offer if all conditions are satisfact...oh feck he’s signed for someone else.There are internal discussions considering preparing to make a bid.
I can see it now, we'll waste the rest of the window chasing this instead of buying a realistic option and be left with nothing.
This is a crazy rumour. No chance of this at all
He wouldn't even think of coming here either.

Why can't they just find attainable targets for fecks sake!
Think Liverpool is quite fitting. City is unlikely, they dont have many fans.
Murtough is Scouse isn't he?
