Dimitar Berbatov names perfect replacement for Manchester United midfielder Casemiro

Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov believes Bayern Munich ace Joshua Kimmich would be a ‘perfect’ replacement for Casemiro at Old Trafford.

“Going forward with the takeover, I wonder how brave United will be in the transfer market,” Berbatov told Betfair.

“Joshua Kimmich is being linked, but he’s such an important player for Bayern Munich.

“Can I see him leaving Bayern and coming to United in the January transfer window? I don’t think that will happen. Maybe we can speak about this transfer in the summer, but he’s someone who is highly regarded at his current club.

“With Casemiro’s injuries and form, maybe United are going to look for a replacement. Let’s not forget about Scott McTominay, he’s there and playing well, but if Casemiro is not going to be counted on to continue to play because of his age and injuries, then of course you need to buy someone to replace him.

“Kimmich is someone who fits perfectly in that position, but does he want to leave Bayern? That’s going to be a tough decision.”
