New signing Casemiro has completed his Manchester United medical, reports Fabrizio Romano.

Manchester United announced an agreement to sign Casemiro on Friday night.

Romano says Casemiro is now just waiting on his visa to be approved before the transfer is officially done.

Real Madrid have already announced Casemiro’s departure, paying tribute to his incredible contribution to the team over the past decade.

Now the 30-year-old is set for a new challenge, with Brazilian outlet Lance reporting he wants to test himself in the Premier League.

Casemiro is set to become United’s fourth signing of the summer, after Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez.

The midfielder could be unveiled at Old Trafford during tonight’s game against Liverpool. Romano earlier said he would be in the stands to watch the fixture.

United enter tonight’s game looking for the club’s first points of the season after a terrible start to the campaign, losing the first two games.
