‘Another defender’ or find a ‘Casemiro replacement’ – what next for United?

We asked for your thoughts on what Manchester United should do next in the summer transfer window after completing the £52m signing of young central defender Leny Yoro from Lille.

Here are some of your responses:

Mike: Promising signing, and finally not someone approaching the last stages of their career and (seemingly) not injury prone. We need more defensive signings – well, we need signings in many positions – but it is a project, not a sprint.

Kevin: Sell Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, get in De ligt and Frimpong. Out with Casemiro and McTominay, in with Rabiot and Ugarte. Finally out with Sancho and in with Ivan Toney.

Fyn: I think going for an unpredictable right winger because Antony has not preformed last season and with Garnacho and Hojlund partnering the right winger, it would be a near perfect line-up. A player like Rodrygo or Saka, but obviously not such a high price tag.

Phil: Need to sell deadwood to generate funds and squad space and wages for incomings. Casemiro replacement next priority. Could be Ugarte or someone from left field like Zubimendi from Sociedad.

Dave: I think we need another centre-back of proven quality. Maguire and Lindelof are not at that level, they never will be. It’s time to ship them out and get in replacements who can play at the level Ten Hag requires. And he knows De Ligt who, granted, has never played in the Premier League but is world-class. If I could, I would sign him today.

Christine: I would like to see another defender signed, De Ligt would be a good choice. Whether Casemiro stays or goes, I think keeping Amrabat and signing Rabiot on a free makes financial sense as both are great players.

David: Onana was not anything special as far as United keepers have been in the past. Replace him for starters. Maybe a defensive midfielder also.

Paul: I think United need to find a replacement for Onana in goal, sign another central defender and sell Antony, Casemiro and Sancho. Then we should have a decent squad for the season.
