REVEALED: Manchester United insiders believe the £70m signing of Casemiro is a 'blessing' that the club has 'needed for some time' while talks for both Ajax forward Antony and Chelsea's Christian Pulisic are ongoing

Casemiro has bid farewell to Real Madrid as he heads to Manchester United for his medical today.

The Brazil midfielder, who won 18 titles in nine seasons with Madrid, will join United for £70million pending his medical and visa application.

He made more than 300 appearances for the Spanish side after initially joining from Sau Paulo in his homeland aged 20.
