What happened: Two Major League Soccer clubs are considering bids for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro this summer, according to reports. The 32-year-old Brazilian has struggled with form and injuries this season. No specific clubs have been identified yet.

Why it matters: Casemiro's transfer would echo Messi's impact, elevating MLS profile and attendance. Manchester United could shed his £350k weekly wages amid financial constraints and rebuild. It underscores declining European interest in the former Real Madrid star.

What to watch: Watch for named clubs and United's response in January transfer window.
