Manchester United displayed a woeful performance against Newcastle United and were completely outfought in the middle of the park.

Ruben Amorim decided to go with the midfield pairing of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro in that game due to the suspension of Manuel Ugarte and perhaps, he wanted to give Kobbie Mainoo a breather.

News – Deal close – £29,000 a week star set to agree fresh deal with Man United

But the veteran duo failed to cope with the Tyneside club’s intensity – which prompted the Portuguese boss to change things and Kobbie Mainoo was introduced before the interval.

Following the youngster’s introduction, the Red Devils looked more solid but in the end, they had to endure a 2-0 defeat. Amorim’s side displayed a promising performance last time out vs Liverpool with Mainoo and Ugarte in the engine room.

So, United are reportedly open to cashing-in on Casemiro and he has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, Eriksen is expected to leave as a free agent upon expiration of his existing deal at the end of this season.

Hence, Man Utd will have to sign new faces in midfield if the duo eventually leave this year. Now, speaking to Rai Sports (via Tutto Juve), Italian journalist, Ciro Venerato, states that Man Utd have been offered the chance to sign Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz.

The Bianconeri want to sign Joshua Zirkzee from United and the Brazilian has been offered in a swap deal to hire the Dutchman. Both players have the same agent, Kia Joorabchan – who is looking to find better solutions for his clients.

Luiz was a key player for Aston Villa and displayed an excellent performance in the Premier League last campaign. So, the Bianconeri decided to splash £42.4m to hire him last summer.

However, upon moving to the Allianz Stadium, he has mainly been a bench warmer this season and has only started two games for the Old Lady in all competitions.

Despite Douglas Luiz’ struggles in Serie A, he is a Premier League proven player and could be an excellent acquisition for Man Utd to bolster the midfield as he is at the prime stage of his career. What do you think?
