Sky Sports reported City as the current frontrunner in the race. City are reshaping their midfield with Bernardo Silva leaving and uncertainty around other central players.

Ryan Giggs said Manchester United must prioritise midfield recruitment this summer and named Adam Wharton as a natural fit, while also backing Elliot Anderson as another strong option. He also argued that Michael Carrick should be kept in charge rather than replaced by another big-name coach.

Manchester United are planning a major squad clear-out as part of a broader summer rebuild, with reports saying the club hope to raise more than £100 million through departures. The outgoing list is said to include several senior names as United try to free funds and wages for key additions. More than eight senior players could leave, while separate tabloid-linked reporting named Marcus Rashford, Andre Onana, Joshua Zirkzee, Manuel Ugarte and Rasmus Hojlund among those potentially available. Casemiro’s exit is already part of that wider midfield reshaping, and Elliot Anderson remains one of the names linked as a possible replacement.

The midfielder refused to be drawn into the growing noise around a possible summer move.

Manchester City are being linked with a major midfield rebuild centred on Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson, with the combined cost said to approach £190 million. The push comes amid uncertainty around several current midfield figures and broader long-term planning at the Etihad.

At the same time, Rodri has publicly acknowledged the pull of Real Madrid, adding more uncertainty to City’s midfield picture going into the summer.

Casemiro Exit Path Cleared as Manchester United Remove Contract Trigger

March 2026

Manchester United and Casemiro have reportedly agreed to remove a performance-based contract trigger, clearing the way for the midfielder to leave this summer without the club risking an automatic extra year on his deal. The move simplifies his departure and removes any reason to manage his minutes for financial purposes. The reported clause would have activated if Casemiro hit a specific Premier League starts threshold. By waiving it, United can continue selecting him on merit while proceeding with a planned midfield reset, rather than balancing team selection against wage exposure.

United are also linked with Carlos Baleba, Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson as alternative options.
