Manchester United are reportedly targeting Fluminense’s Andre as a possible replacement for the struggling Casemiro.

- United considers André as a replacement
- Fluminense could ask for 30 to 40 million euros
WHAT HAPPENED? According to Football transfers, The Red Devils have approached Fluminense for André, signaling a possible move to secure the young midfielder. Casemiro’s decline in form has led to speculation over his future at Old Trafford, amid reports that a move to the Saudi Pro League is on the cards.
THE BIG PICTURE: The report also states that Liverpool have withdrawn from the race for Andre and are exploring alternative targets. This has put Fulham ahead of André, although they are yet to send a formal proposal to Fluminense, who are likely to demand around €40m.
In the meantime, 90min reports that Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Napoli and Lyon are monitoring the midfielder, who played a key role in leading his team to the Libertadores title against Argentine rivals Boca Juniors last weekend.

WHAT’S NEXT? Casemiro will miss United’s match against Luton Town on Saturday after picking up a hamstring injury against Newcastle in early November and is expected to be out until Christmas. Meanwhile, André will be back in action the same day against Flamengo in Serie A.
