Ross Barkley has emerged as a shock target for Manchester United, claims a report.
Barkley, 30, has been in top form for Luton Town this season and his performances have reportedly caught the interest of United.
An article in The Sun reads: “Manchester United’s new regime are lining up a shock move for Luton star Ross Barkley.
“United supremo Sir Jim Ratcliffe and sidekick Sir David Brailsford are huge fans of born-again Barkley who they took to their other club Nice in France.
“Barkley’s dazzling form for the Hatters has put him on the wanted list at Old Trafford as a surprise and cheap capture.
“Barkley could leave Luton if they go down. And despite his contract being complicated there may be a way of signing him for a low fee.
“United, who lost 2-1 to Fulham on Saturday, are looking to strengthen in midfield. And out-of-form Casemiro is set to leave if they can find a buyer. Sofyan Amrabat will also not be kept on when his loan from Fiorentina ends
Manchester United pair Raphael Varane and Casemiro could make a return to Real Madrid, according to a report.
Varane, 30, left for Old Trafford in a £41m switch in 2021, while Casemiro followed him a year later for £70m.
“Real Madrid are planning a shock double swoop for Manchester United stars Raphael Varane and Casemiro, according to reports,” states The Sun.
“Both have supposedly been put up for sale by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ineos are desperate to recoup some of the cash they spent on them to fund their own spending.
“Varane and Casemiro are both among the club’s top earners. And according to a shock report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are analyzing whether they should re-sign the duo.
“Their experience at the club is considered valuable to manager Carlo Ancelotti. But Real Madrid could face competition from Saudi Arabian clubs in the race to sign Varane and Casemiro.”
