Casemiro’s arrival means United have finally added a midfield player to their squad after a long summer of missing out on targets

United’s search for a midfielder has been branded ’embarrassing’ by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher.

He told the Daily Telegraph: ‘Just look at the Adrien Rabiot deal, which collapsed this week due to the player’s wage demands.

‘If you are a club like United, you should not be pulling out of transfers — after agreeing a fee with the selling team — due to wage demands.

‘Someone at the club should already know what sort of salary the player wants, long before it reaches this point.

‘They have also spent weeks chasing Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, and now they are running around trying to sign Casemiro from Real Madrid.

‘From De Jong, to Rabiot, to Casemiro. They are all different players with different styles and ages. What is the plan here? Where is the strategy? It is embarrassing.

‘Erik ten Hag will want his own players, of course, and so far this summer United have backed him in the moves for Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia.

‘I understand that, because it is hard to say no to a new manager when he has just been appointed, but the desperation at this stage of the transfer window is another sign of the problems within the club.

‘It is like watching Supermarket Sweep.’
