Casemiro will stay at Manchester United this summer! Repeating Maguire's counterattack, the attitude and performance all conquered Amorim

Manchester United boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to purge Casemiro before he can buy him, and the Brazilian midfielder has been in a slump since then, especially in 2024. However, in recent months he has returned to his original style and has been recognised by Ruben Amorim and "Fat Tiger" is expected to stay at Old Trafford this summer. Fans are singing the story of Maguire proving himself again, and Casemiro is just like him, a real man.

Ten Hag favoured Academy youngster Toby Collier before he left the club, while the 40-year-old Amorim was also unfavourable with Casemiro when he was in charge of Manchester United, who was denied a chance to play for a month after a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in December. But Casemiro seized the opportunity of Ugarte's injury in March to prove himself again.

Now, Amorim appreciates the mentality of the former Real Madrid superstar and lets him play more games. Especially in the Europa League, Casemiro played a key role, starting in all five knockout games and creating three goals in extra time against Lyon to achieve a reversal; In the first leg of the semi-finals, Athletic Bilbao opened the scoring with a passive header to turn the tide and win 3-0, just one step away from the final.

According to British media, Amorim stressed that Casemiro is a role model for all Manchester United players, not just young people. He trains hard, works hard, is very dedicated and never gives up, even when the coach doesn't let him play, or is criticized by the outside world. Amorim appreciates this mentality, and he told Fat Tiger face-to-face in training that he was very grateful for his professionalism and that he set an example for Carrington. Now the relationship between the two is very good.

The Manchester Evening News reported that Amorim had changed Casemiro's running patterns in the system and helped the 33-year-old make better use of his characteristics. 'I think he's improved a lot as well, you can see it's not the way he plays, it's the way he runs, and we have stats that he's working very hard in this area. He is a good example. Even Toby [Collier] had a chance to play more than him at times, and now it's hard to get Casemiro."

The United boss called on his players to learn from Casemiro: "So it's a lesson for all the players at Manchester United, whether it's past or last month, everything can change in an instant. At the same time, we understand that he can't press high all the time, and we need to make him understand that sometimes it's better to play three centre-backs, let him be the fourth defender, and let the full-backs press. These are all things that we are understanding and are trying to deal with all the criticism of the team. But Casemiro himself is credited."

Casemiro is unlikely to leave Manchester United this summer, and he himself has made it clear that he will stay on to complete his contract. Especially if Manchester United are in the Champions League, he will refuse to transfer. At the moment, the Brazilian superstar is looking to lift the Europa League and add another trophy to his illustrious career.

But the future is different, Casemiro's contract at Manchester United expires in June 2026, and there are no talks to renew him at the moment. It is not expected that the two sides will talk anytime soon, as the focus is now on the Europa League rather than contracts, wages and the like.

Casemiro's situation is well known, with Saudi Arabia's professional league rumoured a year ago keen to bring it in, but United's asking price and the player's wages made it impossible to make a deal. Roma want a loan, but that is never possible, and the Red Devils are reluctant to do so.

Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says looking ahead, if the Saudi patron makes a move, Rajue's Manchester United will be happy to sell Casemiro to ease the burden of financial expenses, as he earns the highest weekly salary of £350,000 in the team, even if the 25% salary cut this season is still more than £260,000. If Casemiro is sold, it may clash with Amorim's tactical needs, but fans may not have to worry because Saudi Arabia has no plans to buy Fat Tiger at the moment.
