Gary Neville names next Manchester United signing after Casemiro ‘torn to shreds’
The Morocco midfielder has been strongly linked with the Old Trafford giants and speculation only grew when he was left out of the Fiorentina squad for their friendlies in England earlier this month.
While there has been no fresh development since, Neville has urged his former club into action after watching them squeeze past Wolves on Monday night.

“They are trying to sign, or were trying to sign, Sofyan Amrabat we believe, to go in there alongside Casemiro,” he told Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
“I don’t know [who Erik ten Hag would drop] but they want to buy Sofyan Amrabat for a reason.
“One thing that Erik ten Hag is not going to do is go back to the likes of Fred and Scott McTominay who he believes are technically not good enough on the ball.
“He wants everybody in the team to be able to accept the football and receive it. Sofyan Amrabat coming in, he is a passer of the ball and can sit in there alongside Casemiro.
“Casemiro got absolutely torn to shreds tonight. Man Utd’s midfield were non-existent and they were absolutely ripped apart. Wolves were absolutely fantastic. Manchester United’s midfield was non-existent, it emptied. That would have been a real worry for Erik ten Hag.”
Raphael Varane scored the only goal of the game in what was an unconvincing win at Old Trafford, one dominated by a controversial late refereeing decision.
