Manchester United 'are lining up Real Betis midfielder' who was part of Argentina's World Cup winning squad as Erik ten Hag seeks back up after injured Casemiro was ruled out for several weeks

Manchester United are reportedly lining up a World Cup-winning midfield reinforcement after Casemiro's recent injury.

The Brazilian sustained a hamstring injury during the Red Devils' 3-0 loss to Newcastle that is expected to keep him on the sidelines for several weeks.

United managed to claim a crucial 1-0 victory against Fulham on Saturday in the 31-year-old's absence but the club are reportedly still keen to bolster their options in the position.

According to Estadio Deportivo, Erik ten Hag's side are considering a swoop for Real Betis anchorman Guido Rodriguez.
