Manchester United is interested in signing 22-year-old Barcelona midfielder Marc Casado.
On 22 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Manchester United officially contacted Barcelona regarding midfielder Marc Casado, valued at around £44 million (1.8 billion baht), according to Mundo Deportivo.
The 22-year-old midfielder is regarded as one of the most disciplined and intelligent defensive midfielders from La Masia academy. Besides interest from the "Red Devils," Wolverhampton Wanderers of the English Premier League have also shown interest.
The "Red Devils" aim to sign Casado by 2026 as part of a major midfield overhaul. Additionally, Manchester United has been linked with Ruben Neves from Al Hilal, Adam Worthington from Crystal Palace, Carlos Baleba from Brighton, Elliott Anderson from Nottingham Forest, and Joao Gomes from Wolverhampton.
Strengthening the midfield has become a top priority for Manchester United due to various issues in the current squad. Casemiro's contract is nearing expiration, while Manuel Ugarte's performance has not met club expectations.
Marc Casado has appeared in 19 matches for Barcelona in the 2025/26 season across all competitions, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists.
