Manchester United’s Casemiro Faces Uncertain Future Amid Criticism and High Wages After Poor Liverpool Performance
Casemiro, Manchester United’s seasoned midfielder, has faced intense scrutiny following a lackluster performance in the 3-0 defeat to Liverpool, where he was substituted at halftime by Erik ten Hag.
This poor showing has sparked debate about his future at the club, despite his previous reputation as a key player.
Andy Mitten, speaking on the Talk of the Devils podcast, mentioned that while Casemiro’s recent performances have been disappointing, United officials still recognize some of his earlier contributions this season.
Mitten highlighted that Casemiro had been praised internally for his professionalism and had delivered strong performances, notably in the Community Shield and a match against Fulham.
However, the Brazilian’s situation is complicated by his high wages, reportedly around £350,000 per week, which make it difficult for the club to justify his continued presence, especially if he is not performing consistently.
Casemiro’s age and recent dip in form have raised concerns about his long-term viability at United, and while a move to Saudi Arabia was rumored earlier, it didn’t come to fruition.
With three years remaining on his contract, United may face a dilemma: whether to retain him in hopes of a return to form or to seek a transfer, potentially as early as the January window, to avoid the burden of his substantial wages on the bench.
