Jaap Stam names ideal Casemiro replacement for Man United | OneFootball

Jaap Stam believes Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba would be the ideal replacement for Casemiro at Manchester United.

Casemiro will leave Manchester United when his contract expires in the summer. Despite the Brazilian’s impressive recent form under Michael Carrick, the club have decided to let the veteran leave this summer. Casemiro will turn 34 later this month.

Manchester United are expected to sign at least one new midfielder in the summer. Stam believes his former team should sign a Premier League ready replacement. He backed Brighton’s Baleba as a player with the right qualities to fill the club’s midfield void.

The Cameroonian is understood to be one of several midfielders on the club’s summer shortlist. Also rumoured to be on the radar of Manchester United is Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson and Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton.

“I really like Carlos Baleba at Brighton and think he could replace Casemiro at Manchester United,” Stam told The Metro.

“Manchester United need to be looking for a replacement that has good legs and the engine to run up and down the field. They also need to be very good with the ball too. Baleba can do that.”
