Manchester United are reportedly set to reveal new signing Casemiro, who is close to departing Real Madrid, ahead of Liverpool's visit to Old Trafford on August 22 and hand him the No. 18 jersey. The Red Devils, who sunk to the bottom of the Premier League standings after two matchdays, announced on Saturday that they had reached an agreement to sign Casemiro from Madrid. The 30-year-old is set to join the team after completing the formalities in the coming days. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the two clubs have agreed a deal worth up to £59.5 million for Casemiro. The Brazilian is set to sign a four-year deal with an option to extend for another year.

The player has also reportedly been assigned the No. 18 shirt. Casemiro is set to bid goodbye to Madrid fans in a press conference on Monday before flying out to Manchester. Vacated by Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes earlier this summer, the No. 18 shirt was famously donned by club legend Paul Scholes. Meanwhile, Casemiro wore the No. 14 jersey for most of his nine-year stay at the Santiago Bernabeu. Known for his astute tackling and high work rate, the midfielder helped Madrid lift a whopping 18 trophies, including three La Liga and five UEFA Champions League titles. He has registered 31 goals and 29 assists in 336 appearances across competitions for them.

The Red Devils opened their new Premier League campaign with a 2-1 loss against Brighton & Hove Albion earlier this month. Erik ten Hag's side then slumped to a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Brentford, marking their worst start to a top-flight campaign in 101 years. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag outlines problems plaguing his team Speaking ahead of Manchester United's clash against Liverpool, new manager Erik ten Hag pointed out the shortcomings in his squad that resulted in their poor start to the new season. He said (via Metro): "I think we had a good basic pre-season, but then our number nine (Anthony) Martial was injured, and Ronny (Cristiano Ronaldo) is not fit. The 'six' in holding midfield is not there. First game, we had the two in defence who had never played with each other, and the goalkeeper was also not the best in this period." Manchester United are looking to return to the UEFA Champions League after finishing sixth, registering their lowest Premier League points tally (58) last season.
