Wayne Rooney is unsure over Manchester United’s decision to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid. United announced on Friday that they had agreed a deal in principle to sign the Brazilian, subject to a medical, personal terms and other formalities.
Casemiro is set to head to Old Trafford in a deal worth an initial £60 million that could rise to £70m in add-ons, per Sky Sports, and will pen a four-year deal with the club.
The move brings to an end a mammoth nine-year stint at Real Madrid that saw the 30-year-old win the Champions League no less than five times, establishing himself as perhaps the greatest defensive midfielder in the world during that time.
United have been in pursuit of Frenkie de Jong all summer long, but the player’s uncertainty over a move to Old Trafford combined with the issue of being owed wages by Barcelona has seen a deal stall.
