Casemiro is shining under Ruben Amorim this season. In place in the starting eleven for the last three games, three wins in a row. Against Brighton, there was also a goal from the 33-year-old. No candidate for goal of the year, but as United themselves put it on Instagram: “A goal is a goal”. The big question is the exercise option in the contract for another season. Now it is reported that this question has already been answered.
Ruben Amorim clearly loves the Brazilian veteran, but with around £375,000 in weekly wages, the 33-year-old is a financial burden. Casemiro has an option for another season that United management can exercise, but then the existing salary conditions follow.

The expenses for Casemiro in the squad are considered excessively high for his age, it is reported.
Still, if Casemiro is willing to accept a massive pay cut, this could open one last door for continuation in the red shirt.
