Ten Hag Reassures United Fans on Casemiro Future

 

Erik ten Hag, the head coach of Manchester United, said that he thinks Casemiro will stay with the team this summer, even though there is a lot of talk about his future. 

During long parts of the 2023–24 season, the Brazilian had trouble playing at his best, and his defense work got him a lot of bad reviews.

There were rumors that several teams in the Saudi Pro League wanted to sign Casemiro this summer, but those rumors have since died down.

An exciting story says the 32-year-old will likely stay at Old Trafford for at least one more season. He still has two years left on his lucrative contract.

Casemiro played the whole Community Shield game on Saturday against Manchester City. He scored in the spot shootout, but Pep Guardiola's team won, and the Red Devils lost.

Casemiro will stay at Manchester United this summer.
Due to not playing for Brazil in the Copa America, Casemiro has had a full pre-season. He will likely start for Man United against Fulham in their first Premier League game next week.

It is said that Ten Hag thinks the defender is "significant" for the Red Devils and that the South American will likely stay at Old Trafford this summer.

"Casemiro? It's not about the system. "He has had a pre-season for a long time, so he is in great shape right now," Ten Hag told media after the Community Shield.

"We work well together, which makes things easier for Casemiro." He's a great player who can bring his skills. Our team needs him a lot. There's no sign that he won't stay at the club. That makes us very happy.

Casemiro was great in his first season at Old Trafford but had difficulty getting back to his best last year. He also had trouble in the middle of the defense near the end of the season.

There is a problem with the midfielder's huge pay. The Brazilian makes about £350,000 a week and will stay at Man United unless a Saudi club makes an offer late in the window.

He can still play a part for the Red Devils in the middle of the field, but he needs a better system around him. Kobbie Mainoo and a defensive midfield specialist, like Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, could help.

Bruno Fernandes is about to sign a new deal at Old Trafford. He could then play further forward, especially at the beginning of the season, since Rasmus Hojlund has a hamstring injury and won't be able to play until September.

 New striking signing Joshua Zirkzee has yet to play a minute for the club.
