Manchester United dey face two big decisions concerning the futures of Casemiro and Harry Maguire, as both senior players only get contract till the end of the 2025–26 season. The two don prove say experience still matter, but the question now be whether the club go offer them new deals or allow them waka.
Casemiro, wey be 33 years old, almost comot during the summer transfer window as Saudi Arabia clubs show serious interest. But the Brazilian decide to stay for Manchester, and e don still play key role this season — seven Premier League appearances with one goal already.
Casemiro na the highest earner for Man United, reportedly dey collect around £300,000 per week. But that deal go expire next summer. Reports don circulate say the club fit offer am new contract but with reduced salary, since e still dey perform well under new boss Ruben Amorim. Journalist Ben Jacobs even confirm say final decision never reach table yet.
Casemiro and Maguire Don Prove Their Worth This Season
Jacobs talk for The United Stand say: “Casemiro dey play more regularly now and Ruben Amorim dey trust am. If that trend continue till end of season, the club fit reassess.
Dem still get option to extend the contract by one more year. But if e extend, na reduced terms e go be — same as Harry Maguire own.”
Casemiro sef dey very settled for Manchester with him family, and reports dey say e go gladly accept pay cut just to remain with the 20-time English champions. The guy no dey act like person wey wan leave anytime soon.
Harry Maguire, on the other hand, still dey show why e be club captain and leader. The 32-year-old defender also dey out of contract next year, but he don prove say e still fit deliver — scoring the winning goal against Liverpool at Anfield recently. E don score two goals and add one assist from eight games this season.
Although no formal contract offer don reach am yet, Jacobs talk say “initial talks don start.” According to am, “Maguire never receive any official offer yet, but dem don start early discussions. E want make the club clear him future quickly — maybe before year end or early next year, so e go know where e stand ahead of World Cup preparations.”
Other Man United Players Wey Fit Leave in 2026
Aside Casemiro and Maguire, two other players — Tyrell Malacia and Tom Heaton — also dey enter the final year of their deals by next summer. Heaton, wey be 39 years old, extend him contract by one extra year last season, but this fit be him last campaign before e move into coaching role.
Tyrell Malacia just return to first-team training after being part of the “bomb squad” during the summer. But truth be say, the Dutch full-back no dey near the top for the wing-back pecking order. At 26, e likely go comot as free agent come next year if nothing change.
TPB VERDICT
Manchester United get some tough calls to make. Casemiro still get class and maturity for midfield, but him high wages go surely be key factor. Maguire don fight back from criticism to regain relevance under Amorim, so e deserve new deal if e maintain consistency. The club fit offer both players reduced contracts just to keep squad balance and wage structure steady — especially as United dey plan rebuild under new leadership direction.
