Manchester United eye another ex-Ajax star as Erik ten Hag considers summer swoop for West Ham ace Edson Alvarez to replace Casemiro

After a disappointing season in Erik ten Hag's midfield, Brazil legend Casemiro is set to depart Old Trafford this summer, and United have begun looking for a replacement for the 32-year-old. As per <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1803560447393800387" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a>, the Red Devils have set their sights on West Ham star Edson Alvarez.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A move for the Mexican is seen as a possibility as Ten Hag likes the defensive midfielder, who he has formerly worked with at Ajax. During his tenure in the Eredivisie, the 26-year-old was frequently linked with United. Alvarez signed a £35 million ($44.4m) contract to join the Hammers last summer, and he impressed as Declan Rice's replacement.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

If Ten Hag's side do sign Alvarez this summer, this will be the fourth former Ajax player signed by the Dutchman during his tenure at Old Trafford since 2022. The three former Ajax players that the Red Devils signed so far have been Antony, Lisandro Martinez and Andre Onana.

DID YOU KNOW?

It is likely that if Alvarez is to make a move away from the club this summer, it will likely only be put in action after the end of Mexico's Copa America campaign, with Jamie Lozano having called up the West Ham star.
