Manchester United have identified Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson as an ideal replacement for Casemiro at the end of the campaign.
The Red Devils have already confirmed that Casemiro will walk away on a free transfer when his contract expires at the end of June this year.
United have already started the groundwork for a replacement and Daily Mail claim that Anderson is the prime choice to replace the Brazilian.
The Red Devils have been left impressed by the overall quality of the 23-year-old, who has been ever-present in the heart of the midfield for Forest.
Forest are themselves bracing for his potential transfer. They are expected to hold out for at least £100 million to part ways with the Newcastle graduate.
United are not alone in the pursuit of the midfielder and may need Champions League football to boost their chances of landing him.
Manchester City are also weighing up a move for the Englishman as they seek to replace Rodri, who has looked out of sorts after his knee issues.
