Ultimatum for Casemiro

Coach Ruben Amorim is said to be willing to keep Casemiro at MU after this season but only if the Brazilian midfielder accepts a pay cut.

MU needs Casemiro to reduce his salary to extend his contract.

Casemiro is now entering the final 12 months of his contract with United. At 33, he was expected to leave Old Trafford this summer. However, Casemiro has gradually revived strongly under the reign of Ruben Amorim.

Since the start of the season, he has started 9 out of 11 Premier League games, becoming an indispensable link alongside Bruno Fernandes in midfield. An impressive statistic shows that of the 20 goals MU has conceded in the tournament this year, only 5 have occurred when Casemiro was on the pitch – a number that speaks to the influence of the former Real star.

According to British media, Amorim "opened the door" to the possibility of extending Casemiro's contract. MU has the option to automatically activate an additional 12 months, but that means continuing to pay a huge salary of more than 300,000 pounds/week. Therefore, to stay, Casemiro needs to accept a pay cut. This is the key condition that Amorim and the "Red Devils" leadership put forward.

Although there has been no final decision, signals from both sides show that Casemiro can absolutely stay at Old Trafford, in case he is willing to trade part of his salary to continue accompanying the new project under Amorim.

With his resurgent form and top experience, the "gatekeeper" of MU's midfield has proven that he still has a lot of value, both in the dressing room and on the field.
