Between Casemiro and Manchester United, nothing is going well. On the descending slope since the start of the season, the 32-year-old Brazilian experienced his first tenure in 2025 against Tottenham, this weekend, for a total of 15 days of the Premier League disputed only and a scored goal. But since the arrival of Ruben Amorim, the ex-madrilene has seen his playing time drastically reduce and Manchester United wishes to find him an exit door from the winter transfer window.

But although he is unhappy with his lack of playing time, Casemiro does not intend to leave the Red Devils right away. He said to his management that he wishes to go to the end of his contract, which only expressed in the summer of 2026, according to the Time. And despite exotic offers, the Brazilian was not interested in the offers of Saudi Arabia last January and is not very ready to return to Brazil. He wants to continue Manchester United, despite the bad pass with his manager.

A salary of 360,000 euros per week

The British newspaper indicates that the midfielder intends to continue Old Trafford, where he receives just over 360,000 euros per week. One of the best wages in the club. The financial situation of Manchester United forces him to identify liquidity by the sale of players and by the reduction of his payroll, but Casemiro wants to stay. “I have a year and a half of contract left and I would like to finish it here in Manchester. I'm good here and my family too. Happy on the bench? Of course not. This is another subject “he assured to AS.

Arrived for 80 million euros in the summer of 2022 from Real Madrid, Casemiro is however appreciated by Ruben Amorim, who recently explained his choices: “Sometimes it's a question of system, sometimes it is the form of the player. We know that Casemiro has other qualities today. But we are in a championship where there is a big difference in intensity. This is why I think our team needs players with great intensity ”. A situation that does not help anyone, but suitable for Brazilian.
