Overview
- Ruben Amorim praised Casemiro and Harry Maguire and said he wants to keep counting on them this season while declining to commit to their long-term futures.
- Manchester Evening News reports United have already triggered Maguire’s extension option after his contract was due to expire at season’s end.
- United hold a 12‑month option on Casemiro, with The Athletic’s Laurie Whitwell suggesting any attempt to keep him would likely involve negotiating a lower salary.
- Whitwell cited terms linked to the option and Champions League qualification, including a reported wage level around £280,000 per week with potential increases.
- Amorim also defended £74m signing Benjamin Sesko after a slow start of two goals, stressing his long‑term potential and pledging the club’s support.
