"Manchester United defensive midfielder Casemiro could reportedly still have a future at the club beyond the end of his contract next summer. In a surprise U-turn, it now seems that Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim is open to keeping Casemiro at Old Trafford for a while longer as he's become a key player for the team."
"However, according to talkSPORT, one key condition to this could be the veteran Brazilian accepting a pay cut to his current terms. Casemiro of Manchester United in action vs Tottenham (Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images) Casemiro now an important part of Ruben Amorim's Manchester United side Casemiro will turn 34 in February, so how is it that he's seemingly rediscovered his best form after famously being written off by Jamie Carragher with some damning criticism a couple of years ago?"
"Casemiro now seems to be benefiting from the fact that United aren't playing every few days, meaning he can rest and recover better from that lack of European football on top of the club's Premier League fixture list. Of course, if MUFC have a good season this year then they'll be back in Europe next season, so perhaps Casemiro would struggle again. Still, if the former Real Madrid man can be persuaded to stay on lower wages and perhaps a reduced role in the team, then there's no reason he can't still have a hugely positive impact on the team."
Casemiro could remain at Manchester United beyond his current contract if he accepts lower wages and possibly a reduced role. Ruben Amorim has performed a U-turn and now sees Casemiro as an important midfield presence. The veteran has regained form after earlier criticism and benefits from fewer fixtures without European football, allowing better rest and recovery. The midfielder will turn 34 in February and may struggle again if the club return to continental competition. Additional midfield signings are needed to provide rotation, depth, and to manage Casemiro's workload over a demanding schedule.
