The Manchester team is continuing to reduce its wage bill with the departure of a series of high-earning players in the summer transfer window.

Casemiro is currently the highest paid player at Old Trafford with £375,000 a week, but MU leaders still see the Brazilian star as a valuable player in Ruben Amorim's squad.

Casemiro's contract with MU is valid until June 2026, with a 12-month extension clause. The Red Devils can activate it if the former Real Madrid player accepts a salary reduction below 200,000 pounds/week.

In fact, after being ignored by Amorim in the early stages, Casemiro has tried to prove himself on the training ground and impressed the Brazilian coach.

Since the start of the 2025/26 season, Casemiro has regularly been a regular starter in the Red Devils' midfield, alongside captain Bruno Fernandes.

Manchester United are planning a midfield rebuild next summer, with at least one big signing expected to be made.

However, Casemiro may continue to stay, in the context of Kobbie Mainoo's uncertain future, and Manuel Ugarte has not been able to adapt to the Premier League environment.

The 33-year-old veteran has played the full 90 minutes in both of Brazil's recent friendly matches against South Korea and Japan, so the chances of him starting against Liverpool this weekend are relatively low.

Casemiro started four of the first five Premier League games of the season but was sent off for two yellow cards in the win over Chelsea.

Absent from the loss to Brentford due to suspension, Casemiro was brought back into the starting lineup by coach Amorim in the win over Sunderland (played 85 minutes).
