We asked for your views on whether Manchester United should sign midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who is 26-years-old, from Real Madrid in the summer.

BBC Sport's Simon Stone has reported there is interest from United.

Here are some of your comments:

Henri: Would love him, but the sceptic in me immediately questions why Real Madrid would sell?

Royston: For the right price, Tchouameni is an excellent acquisition for his defensive qualities. Not quite a direct replacement for Casemiro, who has recently proven to contribute goals too. Tchouameni will be crucial for Champions League matches next season but may need time to adapt in the Premier League, much like how Casemiro struggled a bit at the beginning. Given his age, I'd expect Tchouameni to adapt quicker and his physique will be a factor too.

Mark: Too right I think we should sign him. I would place this as a transfer in the Robin van Persie bracket where you are getting a prime player for the position needed with a little worry over his fitness record. If Real Madrid already have a replacement then this deal will be easier to construct.
