Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince has urged the club to disrupt Bayern Munich’s pursuit of Joao Palhinha.
Bayern, who have long admired Palhinha, almost signed him from Fulham last summer.
The two clubs are currently negotiating again, with Fulham valuing Palhinha at £60 million.
Ince believes Palhinha would be an ideal long-term replacement for Casemiro.
Manchester United have warned Everton that they will abandon their pursuit of Jarrad Branthwaite if Everton does not lower their asking price.
United’s initial bid, reportedly around £43 million including add-ons, was rejected.
The club is planning to make an improved offer but remains unwilling to overpay and might consider alternative targets.
