Manchester United have made 'significant progress' in their pursuit of Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro.

The Red Devils are increasingly confident they will be able to sign the Brazil international for £60m, per Goal.

Erik ten Hag has grown frustrated with the failure to sign Frenkie De Jong from Barcelona.

A deal for Adrien Rabiot also fell through this week, leaving Casemiro as United's main midfield target.

The move was originally considered a long shot by the United hierarchy.

However, Casemiro is reportedly keen on a move after Real's signing of Aurelien Tchouameni this summer.

The 30-year-old is now weighing up whether the enticement of a new challenge outweighs the lack of Champions League football at Old Trafford.
