Until recently, the 33 -year -old seemed guaranteed to be transferred at the end of the season. But the Brazilian has shone in recent weeks, going up time and helping United reaching the Europa League final.

The Daily Mirror reports that coach Ruben Amorim has been won over and considers Casemiro as an important element of his reconstruction next season.

Will Casemiro stay in Manchester United?

It now seems likely that Casemiro remains in Manchester United until the expiration of his contract in 2026. Manchester United tried to separate from Casemiro during the last two transfer windows and he was close to joining Roma in January.

The Brazilian was on the transfer list last summer, but the midfielder was not willing to accept a drop in drastic salary, being the best paid player of Manchester United with 18.2 million pounds sterling per year.

But he is now off to stay, despite a wage increase of 25 % planned if Manchester United qualifies for the Champions League by defeating Tottenham in the Europa League final.

Casemiro was undoubtedly the flagship transfer of Manchester United in the summer of 2022, with more than 70 million euros spent on the legendary Real Madrid midfielder. Some criticisms have questioned such a large amount for a 30 -year -old player.

Casemiro should now stay in Manchester United

The 33 -year -old achieved good performances for a large part of his first season and played a key role in the victory of Manchester United in Carabao Cup.

However, its shape fell sharply in the 2023-24 season for a Manchester United team, which had a disastrous season in the Premier League and in the Champions League. They won the FA Cup, but Casemiro did not play the final. This season, the situation has grown further for Casemiro and Manchester United, the Red Devils finding themselves in the last half of the ranking. But Casemiro had a great end of the season and confirmed its form of yesteryear.
