Man Utd ‘earmark’ Everton flop to replace Casemiro despite ‘brutal dig’ amid ‘constant speculation’

Manchester United have reportedly earmarked Everton flop Davy Klaassen amid constant speculation as to who might replace Casemiro.

The Brazilian midfield was heavily linked with a move away from the club in the summer and after impressing in the opening two games of the season was in the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool last time out for his role in the opening two goals.

Manuel Ugarte joined from Paris Saint-Germain towards the end of the transfer window for an initial £42m and is expected to strike up a partnership with academy graduate Kobbie Mainoo at the heart of United s midfield, but according to the Daily Star there s still constant speculation over who might replace Casemiro.

Guys, it s been constant , and from that baseless claim the report moves on to suggest one player who has been mentioned is Everton flop Davy Klaassen .

Mentioned by whom? It s not clear.

The 31-year-old midfielder – who moved to Everton for £23m from Ajax in 2017 – has been without a club since leaving Inter Milan at the end of his contract in the summer, having moved there following a second spell with Ajax under Ten Hag.

Klaassen got 27 goals and nine assists in 90 appearances for Ten Hag at Ajax, winning the Eredivisie title in 2021 and 2022, and the report claims he fits the bill when it comes to United s recent unofficial recruitment strategy of being Dutch and having previously worked with Ten Hag .

The Dutch boss may well be keen to reunite with Klaassen, though we suspect not, and while we are in no doubt after a disappointing season with Inter has left him with no club he would jump at the chance to join United, he once fired a brutal dig at the Red Devils.

After it was announced that Ten Hag would be leaving Ajax for United, Klaassen told Voetbal Primeur:  He has been doing well with us for years and Manchester United has been doing badly for years.
