The 30-year-old Spaniard, known for his ability to operate in multiple roles, has emerged as a leading target as United look to address growing uncertainty in their midfield. Llorente's profile is particularly appealing to the Old Trafford hierarchy due to both his experience and positional flexibility."

Man United need a versatile player like Llorente His adaptability makes him an immediate asset for a squad lacking balance and depth. The need for midfield reinforcements has become increasingly urgent at United."
"Casemiro's contract is winding down, and the Brazilian's injury issues, combined with a noticeable dip in physical sharpness, have raised doubts about his long-term role. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes, the club captain, continues to attract interest from Saudi Pro League clubs and European sides, leading to speculation that his future may become a serious topic in the summer. United have been linked with a number of younger, high-upside midfielders in recent weeks, including Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson, Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton, and Brighton's Carlos Baleba."
