Therefore, it will be very difficult for the Red Devils to replace the Brazilian veteran. Interestingly, they seem to be showing great interest in filling Casemiro’s void by adding some samba flair to their team.

United have so far been linked with Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães, Wolves duo João Gomes and André, and Atalanta midfielder Ederson. Now, a report in Türkiye suggests that the Premier League giants are interested in the Brazilian Galatasaray star.
Manchester United interested in Gabriel Sara
According to Turkish journalist Erol Evcen, Manchester United is closely monitoring Gabriel Sara’s situation in Türkiye.
The 26-year-old midfielder, known for his technical ability and his tendency to play between the lines, is enjoying a good campaign with Galatasaray.
The versatile Brazilian, capable of playing throughout the midfield, was one of Galatasaray’s standout players in their recent 1-0 Champions League victory over Liverpool in Istanbul.

The former São Paulo talent already played in England with Norwich City. However, Sara joined Galatasaray in 2024 in a deal worth around £16million.
“With the opening of the summer transfer window, Manchester United are expected to make an offer to Galatasaray for Gabriel Sara,” Evcen posted on his X account.
Galatasaray considered signing Manuel Ugarte in January
Galatasaray attempted to sign Manuel Ugarte from United during the winter transfer market.
However, the Red Devils refused to open the exit doors for the Uruguayan due to lack of depth in the area. Ugarte continues to fight for minutes, as he has not yet started any game under Michael Carrick.

As such, United should explore the possibility of including Ugarte in any deal for Sara – that is, if they decide the Gala star is good enough to improve their midfield.
Recently, The Peoples Person aired a report claiming that United are also keeping an eye on Galatasaray talisman Victor Osimhen. He is undoubtedly a player capable of taking his attack to the next level.
