Manchester United Eye Everton Duo as Casemiro Exit Looms
Manchester United are targeting Everton stars Iliman Ndiaye and James Garner after strong 2026 performances. Ndiaye has 6 goals and 3 assists in 25 games. Meanwhile, Casemiro is likely to leave, with MLS and Saudi clubs interested, while a return to Real Madrid appears unlikely.
For Manchester United, the upcoming summer transfer window looks busy as the club targets reinforcements despite a strong turnaround under Michael Carrick, with the team currently sitting third in the league. United is closely monitoring two key players from Everton.
The first is Iliman Ndiaye, who has impressed this season with 6 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances. His versatility and attacking flair have attracted multiple clubs, including Liverpool, though Everton’s long-term contract until 2029 means any deal would require a record fee. The second target is former United midfielder James Garner, valued for his tactical discipline and consistency. However, his recent contract extension makes a move difficult.
Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounds Casemiro. Despite improved performances, reports suggest he may leave on a free transfer. Fabrizio Romano has dismissed links to Real Madrid, indicating stronger interest from MLS and Saudi clubs. Additionally, United are considering Lewis Hall from Newcastle United as a defensive option, though competition and high costs could complicate a potential deal.
