The young Spanish player has a bright potential that he can realize at Old Trafford.

The stature of Manchester United often precedes them because they are without a doubt one of the best clubs in the history of the sport. While many players aspire to play for Real Madrid and Barcelona, in England, the Red Devils frequently hold such appeal, despite their lack of success.

But, under Erik ten Hag, they are ready to make a comeback to the top of the game, as all indications suggest that they will continue to succeed following his first major victory and the advancement in all subsequent tournaments they have participated in.

The majority of his early-reign success can be credited to his astuteness in the summer transfer market, as he welcomed six new players with a mix of youth and experience.

The Dutchman will aim to strengthen a team that has already shown its value to him and identified its limitations after a year of development.

With Christian Eriksen’s age and injury history, finding the ideal partner for Casemiro may still be a challenge, but ESPN seems to believe they have found it in young Gabriel Veiga.

Gabriel Veiga: Who is he?

Despite persistent rumors around Frenkie de Jong and Jude Bellingham, two of the most in-demand players in Europe right now, it appears that the Manchester club has different goals in mind for this summer than in the past, when they had a tendency to wildly overspend.

Although a €40 million (£35 million) release clause is rumored, this offers a much more affordable option for a 20-year-old underdog who has dominated La Liga this season.

The midfielder has made 25 games for a Celta Vigo team that is securely entrenched in the middle of the table, and he has an incredible nine goals and three assists.

As a result, he sits in the top 1% of midfielders in Europe for total shots and non-penalty goals per 90. He ranks in the top 2% for successful take-ons and the top 7% for progressive carries, but he is also described as having a tremendously progressive influence from the engine room (via FBref).

Carlos Carvahal, the young player’s manager, gushed about the player as well, saying: “He knows how to play, he is bright and extremely strong.”

This may make for the ideal combo, especially given the stability Casemiro brings after a standout first season at Old Trafford.

Veiga would shine thanks to his knowledge and defensive work rate, while his freshness and vigor would help to offset some of the forced running that the 31-year-old is required to do.

With a 7.15 average rating, 3.1 tackles, 1.3 interceptions, and 2.2 clearances per game (per Sofascore), the former Los Blancos goalkeeper could create an outstanding midfield that would ideally advance United to the next level.
