With Casmeiro and even if they get De Jong it does not mean success, at this level teams are gradually built and players brought in who fit the criteria of the team and club (City for example). Not going out as if you are playing football manager and buying any top player available. If they had any patience they would give the manager time and build the team over two maybe three years, but the is manchester united and if they are not top their fans are throwing hissy fits. This is like some sort of comedy, they are utterly crazy.

If they got Casemiro and De Jong, they'd probably be top 4 contenders with Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea.

It would be a very good start.

But they're not going to. They'll get Casemiro, think job done, then pair him with McTominay and Fred and it's a half measure.

I think United actually need to do the opposite to what you're suggesting. They don't need to build a team over 3 years, they need to replace 8 players in one window to completely reset the culture. What they've done for the last 5 years is bring in one good player a season, and they get brought down and corrupted by the rest of the group by the time the next guy arrives.

Also they won't be able to do anything with De Gea as the keeper. He just can't play out from the back, so until he's gone they're treading water at best.
