manchester, england - Sources reveal that Manchester United may keep Casemiro beyond the season if he agrees to a pay cut. The midfielder's current deal expires in 2026.

Manchester United Considering Pay Cut for Casemiro

Sources close to Manchester United suggest that the club is open to keeping Casemiro, but only if he accepts a reduction in salary. The Brazilian midfielder's contract is set to expire in June 2026, potentially leaving Old Trafford as a free agent.

Key Points:

United aims to lower their wage bill post the exits of high earners like David De Gea, Raphaël Varane, and Marcus Rashford. Casemiro, one of the top earners, would need to agree to a significant pay cut to stay.

Despite having an option to extend his contract until 2027, triggering the clause would mean maintaining his current salary. With a midfield overhaul planned next summer, Casemiro's future at the club remains uncertain.

Settled in Manchester

Sources indicate that Casemiro is content in Manchester with his family, though clubs in Brazil and the Saudi Pro League have shown interest. The 33-year-old has been a crucial player under Ruben Amorim's management.

Contractual Situations of Other Players

Manchester United also faces decisions regarding Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia, both nearing the end of their contracts. While Malacia has an extension option, Maguire's future remains under discussion.
