Man Utd should now sign £34m “midfield maestro” who plays like Kimmich, would be a dream player | OneFootball

Manchester United are likely to make several signings during the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils are 13th in the table with just 37 points from 29 matches. They have to win the Europa League to secure Champions League football next term.

Manager Ruben Amorim will have plenty of transfer funds this summer, and a new defensive midfielder could be one of the priorities.

Manuel Ugarte has had a good start to his United career, but Amorim may want a solid competitor who can also play alongside the Uruguayan.

Casemiro had a couple of good outings before the international break, but he could be offloaded at the end of the campaign.

He will enter the last year of his United contract in July. The club could cash in on the Brazilian rather than lose him on a free transfer next year.

Casemiro is reportedly open to moving to the Saudi Pro League.

Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller would be an ideal replacement for the ex-Real Madrid star.

The 23-year-old has developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in the Bundesliga.

The Bayern Munich graduate is a good ball-playing midfielder with strong defensive attributes and would be an upgrade on Casemiro next season.

Stiller, described by Bundesliga.com as a ‘midfield maestro‘, has been likened to Joshua Kimmich. He has tallied three goals and six assists for Stuttgart this term.

The midfielder’s £34 million release clause in his contract will become active in July 2026.

Stuttgart can cancel the buy-out clause for £1.7m anytime, and Stiller has no right to reject. He would receive the same amount immediately.

United may have to pay £40-45m to persuade Stuttgart to sanction his exit.
