De Paul is a versatile midfielder who can don any role in the middle of the park. He is better known for his defensive traits and doing the dirty work for the team. He also provides key passes and doesn’t shy away from taking shots whenever possible.
The Argentine featured in 48 games last season, netting four goals and providing six assists. He averaged 0.9 tackles, 0.3 interceptions, and 0.4 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).
A successor of Casemiro?
Manchester United still lacks quality in the midfield despite having invested a high sum in recent times. They will have to fix the issue if they want to become a winning side. Hence, the club are now looking to get some more notable names.
The Red Devils have their eyes set on Rodrigo De Paul, who is a proven campaigner. He has ample experience and has been part of winning squads in big tournaments. He could be an ideal name to replace Casemiro, who is waypast his prime.
The 30-year-old’s presence will allow other Manchester United players to play more freely. He can provide the defensive solidity and bringa physical presence in the midfield. However, it remains unclear whether he will be able to match the intensity of the Premier League.
De Paul’s contract with Atletico Madrid runs out in 2026 but he can make a way out in 2025. Though he will not be a cheap affair, the English giant have the resources to lure him away.
