Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim talk say him go support make Casemiro get new contract — but only if the Brazilian gree collect pay cut, na wetin new report don claim.
After he don lead the team go three wins and two draws for their last five matches, Amorim position for Old Trafford don strong pass how e be before. The Red Devils dey look like team wey fit qualify for Champions League again.
But even as everything dey balance for now, some players still get wahala about their future for the club.
Harry Maguire contract go expire end of this season, same with Casemiro. United fit extend Casemiro own by one year if dem like, but the issue now na him salary wey reach around £350,000 per week.
According to talkSPORT, both United and Amorim no go mind extend am, but only if Casemiro gree reduce him weekly pay first. If e no gree, dem fit just allow am waka free when season finish.
Casemiro still good enough for Manchester United?
Many fans and pundits don criticise Casemiro for the last two seasons. Even Jamie Carragher talk that time for 2023-24 say “leave football before football leave you,” shade wey everybody remember till today.
But this season under Amorim, Casemiro don become key man again. He don start nine of their 11 Premier League matches and even score three goals plus one assist. The 33-year-old still dey show him experience, especially for set-piece moments.
Even though e no dey cover ground fast again like before when United no hold ball, some people believe say na Amorim formation dey make am look slow, no be say Casemiro don totally decline.
If United sign one younger defensive midfielder come next summer and move Casemiro go bench, e still fit make sense to keep am. The man experience alone fit help the younger one sabi how to protect the backline well.
Transfer window ahead: Who Manchester United fit sell?
Truth be say, e go hard for United to justify keeping both Casemiro and Maguire since the two of them don enter their 30s. One of dem fit leave after season end.
Plenty other players too fit commot for January or summer window. The biggest gist go be if Kobbie Mainoo go leave, because fans no go happy. But if Amorim no dey give the small boy more play time before 2025-26 end, the move fit still happen.
Joshua Zirkzee too dey struggle break into first XI – he don play only 86 minutes of Premier League ball this season. If e no improve, him own future fit hang for balance too.
Another player wey future still get question mark na Bruno Fernandes. Rumour still dey say Saudi Pro League clubs wan tempt am, and if big offer show, we go see whether Amorim go risk losing him captain or hold body.
For now, everything depend on how United perform for the rest of the season — and whether Amorim fit balance between experience and fresh blood when transfer window open.
