I&#8217;m not so sure, but I can see why his name has been mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the qualities that Manchester United have had in the past is a good number six, who can really sit in that midfield, conduct the style of play, and influence the team. It&#8217;s an area we thought Casemiro would have filled. He looked very good when he first arrived, but he&#8217;s not getting any younger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it\u2019s an area United will need to address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho else is out there that can fill that role and really influence the game? Someone like Moises Caicedo does a great deal of work there. There is Carlos Baleba at Brighton, I think he is another one who can be in that role and bring good energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United have been urged to snub &#8216;flavour of the month&#8217; Morgan Rogers and instead sign a number&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378640,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1111,398,59,142864,134,399,2502,1441,4556,221,57927,101,567,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-378639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-arsenal-fc","tag-chelsea-fc","tag-gb","tag-jeremy-jacquet","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-manchester-city","tag-manchester-city-fc","tag-manchester-united-fc","tag-marc-guehi","tag-premier-league","tag-premier-league-transfers","tag-sports","tag-transfer-window","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
