The positivity around Manchester United has grown in recent weeks after they have picked up wins over the likes of Arsenal and Man City, the two best in England right now. There has been a new manager bounce for since Michael Carrick was appointed as the interim boss until the end of this season.
But if Manchester United continue to perform like this, it is only a matter of time before Carrick is handed the job on a permanent basis.
It is important to build on this momentum. And if they are successful in doing so, the club cannot rest on their laurels. They must strengthen the squad further in the summer.
Casemiro is someone who is set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season. He has been one of the club's best performers in recent weeks, and the experience he brings to the table cannot be overlooked. They will need to find a replacement for him in the summer.
Interestingly, it looks like a high-profile name is set to become available as a free agent. And he could be an ideal signing for Manchester United.
According to Fussball Daten, Leon Goretzka's contract with Bayern Munich expires on June 30, 2026. Besides the Turkish clubs, Atletico Madrid and Juventus are also closely monitoring the situation. Interest is also growing from the Premier League with Arsenal, Manchester United, and West Ham United following the developments.
It has been further stated in the exclusive report from the German outlet that initial talks between his representatives and English clubs suggest that the midfielder is particularly open to a new experience abroad.
Goretzka has spent his entire career in Germany, coming up through the ranks at Bochum before making the move to Schalke and then becoming a club legend over the past eight seasons at Bayern Munich.
He is no longer one of the most important players in this Bayern Munich team though, having not started a single Champions League game this season. So, at 30 years of age, it is not hard to see why he might be open to a new experience abroad, especially with top clubs across Europe seemingly interested in signing him.
Manchester United have been linked with Goretzka in the past as well. Could this be the year that the move finally transpires?
