Manchester United are gearing up for a potential new era, and the January transfer window could mark the beginning of their transformation.
The Red Devils are considering Arthur Vermeeren as a long-term replacement for the struggling Casemiro. Although there is competition from Arsenal and Barcelona, the financial issues of the Spanish giants make the Gunners the primary contender for the promising Belgian star, who is currently impressing with Royal Antwerp.
United have faced criticism for a perceived lack of long-term planning, but the addition of the 18-year-old to Erik ten Hag's squad could signal a positive shift, especially with the Brazilian concerning decline in form and fitness over the past six months.
According to SciSports' assessments, Vermeeren's potential ceiling is on par with players like Tchouameni and even surpasses big-money summer signings such as Alexis Mac Allister, Declan Rice, and Romeo Lavia, who made moves to Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea, respectively.
What's intriguing is that the Belgian international is believed to have the capacity to outperform midfielders like Crystal Palace's Cheick Doucoure and Boubacar Kamara of Aston Villa, both of whom United could realistically target in the near future.
However, there is a significant chance that another top talent might end up at a Premier League competitor, specifically the North London outfit, as they appear to be in the lead to secure the young star's services at this juncture.
