“I love watching him play. He is my idol and am happy that I will play alongside side hi. When he finally comes”-Manchester United has finally completed a dream deal to sign ‘Kobbie Mainoo’s mentor’ amid transfer rumours as he has finally agreed to join Manchester United.

Manchester United has received advice to consider signing Frenkie de Jong to complement Kobbie Mainoo in midfield amid speculations surrounding Casemiro’s potential departure from Old Trafford.

The partnership between Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo has been a cornerstone of Manchester United’s recent successes in 2024, albeit with a setback in the recent loss to Fulham at Old Trafford. However, with Casemiro, aged 32, being linked to a possible exit from the club, there are reports suggesting that Erik ten Hag is willing to part ways with him.

These reports indicate that the departure of Casemiro could be sanctioned under the condition that Manchester United secures the services of Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, a long-standing target for Ten Hag since 2022, as his replacement. United legend Dwight Yorke recently expressed his endorsement of this potential move, highlighting de Jong’s suitability to mentor Mainoo and their potential synergy in midfield.

Yorke emphasized de Jong’s attributes, including his creative flair and midfield dynamism, which could provide the desired spark and balance to Manchester United’s midfield. With de Jong potentially bringing the desired X-factor to the team, Yorke believes that the combination of de Jong and Mainoo would be a promising prospect to anticipate for the upcoming season.
