The situation is reversed with Casemiro at MU

According to ESPN, Manchester United have not completely closed the door on veteran midfielder Casemiro.

Casemiro still has a chance to stay at MU after the 2025/26 season.

However, to stay at Old Trafford after this season, the Brazilian star will likely have to accept a significant cut in his current income.

The 33-year-old's contract with MU runs until June 2026, with an option to extend for another year. However, the "Red Devils" will continue to pay him a sky-high salary - which has been among the top in the team since moving from Real Madrid in 2022 - if the extension clause is activated.

In the context of MU leaders trying to cut the salary fund, Casemiro may have to accept a reduction in income to stay at the "Theatre of Dreams". However, this move shows that MU has changed its view on Casemiro. They still appreciate him, instead of planning to sell him outright as before.

Under coach Ruben Amorim, Casemiro has become an important player in midfield. Casemiro now feels settled in Manchester with his family, but he has also attracted interest from Brazilian and Saudi Pro League clubs. From January 2026, the veteran player will be free to negotiate with teams outside England.

On the other hand, MU is said to be planning to add a midfielder in the near future. Kobbie Mainoo's future is currently uncertain, while Manuel Ugarte does not meet the requirements. In the summer transfer window of 2025, MU targeted Carlos Baleba but the deal stalled when Brighton asked for more than 100 million pounds.
