MU can put an end to Casemiro

The "Red Devils" are planning to upgrade their midfield for the summer transfer window of 2026 by cutting nearly £1 million/week from their wage bill.

Casemiro could leave MU in a midfield overhaul plan.

According to ESPN , the £1 million/week savings will be reinvested by the "Red Devils" in young, energetic midfield players who will bring long-term value to coach Ruben Amorim's team. A series of high-salary contracts are about to expire, including Casemiro, Harry Maguire and Jadon Sancho, along with the belief that Marcus Rashford will be bought by Barcelona, ​​opening up the opportunity for MU to strongly restructure.

MU had asked to buy Carlos Baleba in August but Brighton asked for 115 million pounds. The Old Trafford team also maintained their interest in the young duo Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace) and Angelo Stiller (Stuttgart). However, despite being heavily dependent on Casemiro, MU has no intention of adding a midfielder in January, as they only want to spend money on top targets in the summer.

Last summer, United did not bring in a midfielder due to budget constraints and also rejected an offer for Romeo Lavia in the deal to sell Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea. The lack of Champions League football cost United at least £40 million, while the Ineos-led staff cuts have seen the wage bill return to its lowest level since the 2017/18 season.

Sancho is likely to leave MU as a free agent when his contract expires.

Sancho's contract (300,000 pounds/week) will expire at the end of the season, officially ending a failed deal when MU has no plans to keep him. Rashford is likely to leave the club after shining at Barcelona. Meanwhile, Casemiro and Maguire must accept a reduction in their salary, 350,000 and 200,000 pounds/week respectively.

If they refuse to reduce their salaries, Maguire and Casemiro will be forced to leave Old Trafford because the "Red Devils" leadership is determined to tighten the salary fund. In case both experienced pillars agree to reduce their salaries, MU will save about 1 million pounds/week.

That figure is enough to pay the salaries of two new midfield players. Baleba and Wharton could cost up to 180 million pounds, while Stiller is valued at around 50 million.

In any case, MU will close the era of recruiting 30-year-old stars with huge salaries. From now on, they will enter the long-term game with a smart spending strategy, recruiting according to needs and building a sustainable young framework for the Amorim dynasty.
