Recently, Fabrizio Romano analyzed the current situation of Manchester United, he talks about the club's stance on several players.
Romano:
My understanding is that the situation of Casemiro is a really similar situation in terms of strategy to Harry Maguire.
"Casemiro and Harry Maguire are out of contract in the summer of 2026 and for Manchester United, they are two really important players, especially now.
"We have to say congrats to Casemiro. In this video let's focus on Casemiro, because he's been able to change his situation at Manchester United.
"If you think about Casemiro one year ago or a bit more, there was a feeling like, okay, we have to find a solution. We have to part ways. The salary is too high. The player is not performing. He was not an important or crucial player for United.
"But Casemiro has always been a legend of the game. He is the man who made the history of Real Madrid, who made history with the Brazilian national team. So a fantastic midfielder.
"He's been able to change the situation, to become a starter for Ruben Amorim, a crucial player on and off the pitch, an absolute leader, a wonderful version of Casemiro, this final one he is showing with Manchester United.
"So now the desire is from Man United, obviously, to continue with Casemiro, but in different conditions.
"So the salary he has right now is a salary that Manchester United don't want to pay in the future, not because of Casemiro or Maguire, but because they want to change the salary structure.”
