The top clubs in Europe are taking notice of Andre because of his performance in Brazil. After earning his first two caps for his nation this year, he may relocate to England in January or the summer of the following year.

According to reports, United wants to sign the 22-year-old star by defeating the competition. In addition to Spanish clubs, Arsenal is also interested in Andre.

A long-term successor for Casemiro, who has been connected to a move to Saudi Arabia, is what the Red Devils desire. The 31-year-old was once an Old Trafford wonder, but in recent months, his play has declined.

Additionally, Marcelo, a five-time Champions League winner, has given Andre a glowing recommendation, which may have inspired United to make a move for him. Along with young teammates John Kennedy and Matheus Martinelli, Andre received recognition.

Marcelo said on the Charla podcast: “Three players who caught my attention when I arrived at Fluminense: John Kennedy, Matheus Martinelli, and Andre. They don’t panic. They get the ball from the defence and dribble away.”

According to reports from Brazil, Andre might be the person to take Casemiro’s post. By the way, Andre recently acknowledged that he looks up to the seasoned United midfielder.

“I didn’t know about United’s interest. And I also don’t think anything came of it. We’re in November, there’s the final stretch of the Brazilian Championship, there’s the World Cup, but I’m very happy,” he said last week.

“Casemiro is a guy who has a huge career, I try to talk to him a lot when I’m with the national team. He’s a person who gives me a lot of advice, he’s a great leader and all I can do is continue playing well and I’m happy with all these surveys and comments.”
