Overview
- Ruben Amorim said he wants to keep Casemiro and Harry Maguire but stressed he does not know what will happen and is focusing on this season.
- Casemiro’s deal runs to June with a 12‑month option in United’s favor, and the club has already exercised an option to extend Maguire’s contract.
- Reporting from The Athletic, cited elsewhere, suggests United could explore a reduced salary to retain Casemiro, who is among the squad’s highest earners.
- Casemiro has regained a starting role and been praised by Amorim, while Maguire has featured in major matches, including scoring the winner at Anfield before a brief injury layoff.
- After a 2-2 draw at Tottenham, Amorim highlighted the team’s drop-off when Casemiro and Maguire were withdrawn, noted a knee injury setback for Benjamin Sesko, and did not rule out January additions.
