Serie A side Roma consider Manchester United midfielder Casemiro as they prepare for possible Paredes departure.

Roma are interested in Manchester United midfielder Casemiro as they look for a possible replacement for Leandro Paredes, according to Sky in Italy.

The Italian club's interest in the Brazilian midfielder comes amid uncertainty surrounding Paredes' future, with recent reports linking the Argentine with a possible return to Boca Juniors.

Roma coach Claudio Ranieri is keen to keep hold of Paredes and will try to convince him to postpone his plans to leave.

Casemiro, who has failed to maintain his form at Manchester United this season, has increasingly found himself in a more secondary role under new coach Ruben Amorim.

The 32-year-old Brazilian has made just two appearances in the last nine Premier League games, fuelling speculation about his future at Old Trafford.

Despite Roma's interest, Fabrizio Romano has stated that Casemiro is expected to remain at Manchester United until at least 2025.
