Casemiro made his first appearance for Man United in 2025 against Tottenham in round 25 of the Premier League. Unfortunately, he and his teammates suffered a 0-1 loss, thereby continuing to sink into 15th place in the rankings.
Since the beginning of the season, the veteran Brazilian midfielder has been named in the list of players registered to play for Man United 25 times. However, in the last 18 matches, Casemiro has not played in 12 matches. In the most recent match against Tottenham, Casemiro was brought on from the start in the context of his priority options, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer, all having injury problems. Even a person without a defensive responsibility like Christian Eriksen was injured, otherwise the Danish midfielder would have been chosen, not Casemiro.
Currently, in the work of clearing Sir Jim Ratcliffe's harsh forces, stars who do not contribute much but receive high salaries are among the first to be liquidated, Casemiro is one of them. The contract between Man United and Casemiro has a clause to activate themselves for another year, but the club is the one who has the right to do so. Given the current situation, that possibility is unlikely.
When he arrived at Man United, Casemiro was the owner of 5 Champions League titles, a living legend of Real Madrid. However, the age associated with injuries, especially his high intensity in the Premier League, has prevented him from maintaining endurance. Casemiro only played well in the first season under Erik ten Hag, after which he gradually sank into forgetting.
However, in the face of rumors of possibly returning to Brazil or going to Saudi Arabia to play football for the rest of his career, Casemiro denied and expressed his desire to stay at Old Trafford.
"I have to continue what I am doing with the greatest respect for my profession. Of course, I want to play more, want to help the club at the moment.
I have the greatest respect and gratitude for Man United. Currently, my contract with the club is still valid for 1 and a half years and I want to end my career here. Not only in terms of expertise, my family life in England is also very good. People have adapted and can talk in English.
I am grateful to the fans of the team and feel happy to be here. It's not like I'm just on the bench and feel fine" - Casemiro shared with Spanish newspaper AS.
This season, Casemiro has scored 3 goals (1 in the Premier League, 2 in the League Cup). According to Transfermarkt, the 32-year-old midfielder's value has fallen sharply, to only 12 million Euros. However, if any team wants to take Casemiro away from M.U this summer, the deposit will certainly be larger when the contract is still valid for 12 months.
At Man United, Casemiro has won two titles, the FA Cup and the League Cup. This season, Man United is still capable of winning the FA Cup and Europa League as they have advanced quite far in these two arenas. As for the Premier League, after losing 8/12 recent matches and stagnating in 15th place, Ruben Amorim and his team's hope of finishing in the Top 6 is considered to have gone up in smoke.
