United need to groom Casemiro successor
Arsenal's attempts to secure the services of Declan Rice has shown the Red Devils why they should be following Man City's approach to replacing their Brazilian defensive midfielder.
With Casemiro the wrong side of 30, they need to consider the long term in that position.
When City were in a similar position with Fernandinho, they brought in Rodri and slowly integrated him into the squad and then team, making the transition seamless.
Otherwise, they may be left in the position The Gunners are in, having to pay big money and having all their eggs in one basket in the transfer window.

Denmark coach offers advice to star
Ekstra Bladet, the Denmark first team coach has been speaking about the career of Christian Eriksen and how the player can prolong his career:
Christian can play for many more years, but it will be in a role a little longer back on the field. Christian will play in a slightly more withdrawn role with slightly more passes. And it really suits his game, because Christian is good at creating flow in the game and dictating the tempo of matches. I think that in the coming years, Christian can become even stronger and set the tone in that position. It also suits Christian’s game, we see him in that role because he is so game-intelligent.

Morning, United fans
Bayern Munich could beat United to Kim Min-Jae – but the Red Devils might usurp Chelsea over Andre Onana.
And with more talk of Sheikh Jassim taking over the club, there's speculation of bids for PSG strike stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Bayern are said to be nearing an agreement for Napoli's Kim.
The South Korean has been United's top defensive target for the past two transfer windows.
But it appears the Bundesliga champions have leapfrogged the Red Devils by racing advanced talks over signing the 26-year-old.
United are tipped to step up their hunt for a new keeper – with Inter Milan's Onana now rated a leading contender along with Brentford star David Raya.
But it's thought David de Gea will still stay to fight for the No1 Spot.
Chelsea are waiting to see if United up their £40million bid for Mason Mount.
And the Blues look set to end any hopes the Red Devils had of winning the race for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo.

Chelsea, who previously poached Omari Hutchinson from the North London outfit, are one of the main parties interested.
Manchester City are said to be very keen too, while Manchester United are also reportedly in the race.
