Manchester United Assess Casemiro’s Role Amid Plans For Midfield Restructuring

‎Casemiro’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, with sources close to the club suggesting that a departure in the summer is still the most probable outcome.

‎Despite expectations that he would leave after the transfer window, he has been unexpectedly relied upon early this season.

‎A lack of genuine interest in his services has kept him at United, and Rubén Amorim has since made the most of the midfielder’s experience and presence.

‎Casemiro has started five league games so far and continues to play a crucial role in midfield. Amorim appears to lack confidence in others stepping into that deep-lying role, but there is an increasing sense behind the scenes that United must soon look beyond him.

‎The club hierarchy is already laying out plans for the future squad, and the Brazilian’s long-term role isn’t guaranteed.

‎He is under contract until 2026, with a club option for an additional year, yet his salary remains among the highest at Old Trafford.

‎Insiders acknowledge that extending his stay beyond this season would only be sensible if he agreed to a substantial wage reduction.

‎United have bold intentions over the next two transfer windows, with plans to strengthen the midfield in both January and the summer.

‎They aim to modernize the spine of the team by introducing younger, more mobile players.

‎For Casemiro, the coming months could determine how his time in England is remembered.
