Manchester United have identified West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez as a potential replacement for Casemiro, a report has revealed.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Casemiro is available for sale this summer after an underwhelming campaign, with United\u00a0hoping to cash in on the Brazilian\u00a0as part of a bid to raise close to \u00a3100m to reinvest in the squad.<\/p>\n
As the only natural defensive-minded midfielder in the squad, Casemiro\u2019s departure would require a move for a replacement and\u00a0Fabrizio Romano<\/em>\u00a0states that club officials have discussed a move for Alvarez.<\/p>\n
Mexico international Alvarez, who will turn 27 in October, joined Erik ten Hag\u2019s Ajax in 2019 and the Dutch boss is understood to have expressed his interest in a reunion.<\/p>\n
However, any deal would likely prove to be complicated. Alvarez remains under contract with West Ham until 2028 and is seen as a crucial player, having impressed following his \u00a335m switch to the club last summer.<\/p>\n
Alvarez came close to joining\u00a0Chelsea\u00a0in 2022, recently admitting he was \u201can hour away\u201d from getting on the plane to London before seeing his exit blocked by Ajax.<\/p>\n

\n
He would get his move to the Premier League 12 months later and quickly settled into life in England\u2019s top flight. Alvarez made 42 appearances in all competitions last season and evidently caught the eye of United\u2019s decision-makers.<\/p>\n
United\u00a0co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are expected to\u00a0try and limit Ten Hag\u2019s involvement\u00a0in the club\u2019s transfers. While the manager would still be given an input, his ability to veto both incomings and outgoings could be taken away.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag has already overseen an influx of former Ajax talents. Andre Onana, Lisandro Martinez and Antony have all moved to Old Trafford, while Frenkie de Jong and Brian Brobbey have both been targeted in the past.<\/p>\n
Another former Ajax star, centre-back Matthijs de Ligt, was looked at earlier this summer but\u00a0United are reluctant to advance their interest\u00a0due to the cost of signing him from Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
