Bryan Robson spoke passionately about Casemiro being one of his \u201cfavourite\u201d players in the current Manchester United squad.<\/p>\n

As things stand, Casemiro\u2019s contract is set to expire<\/a> next summer, meaning the Brazilian midfielder will depart Old Trafford as a free agent.<\/p>\n

Ineos face a big decision over whether to extend Casemiro\u2019s contract<\/a> or allow the five-time Champions League winner to leave.<\/p>\n

It is undeniable that Casemiro is a leader in this United squad<\/a>, and his experience on football\u2019s biggest stage is priceless.<\/p>\n

But at 33 years old, United will eventually need to move on from Casemiro<\/a> and replace him in Ruben Amorim\u2019s starting XI.<\/p>\n

After a disappointing 2024\/25 season, Casemiro was expected to leave<\/a> by the majority of the fanbase. However, the Brazilian wanted to stay put at United and turn things around.<\/p>\n

He has done just that this season. Amorim explained that Casemiro was at the bottom of his pecking order last season, but he is now a first-choice midfielder alongside Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n

Speaking to talkSPORT, United legend Bryan Robson<\/a> was asked about Casemiro\u2019s future at the club.<\/p>\n

\u201cCasemiro is one of my favourite players. In the last year, he wasn\u2019t so good, but he played really well in all the European games,\u201d Robson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe year before, I thought he was outstanding. He\u2019s a really intelligent footballer, he\u2019s tough, he\u2019s a great passer of the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople keep talking about his legs and maybe he\u2019s not quick enough, but for me, if you have a really intelligent footballing brain then that makes up for a lack of pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s still a big part of Manchester United this season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Man United already planning for Casemiro exit<\/p>\n

Under Ineos ownership, United have seen a drastic improvement in their transfer plans and squad management.<\/p>\n

It is known that United want a midfielder in 2026<\/a> as a top priority after it was not strengthened over the summer.<\/p>\n

Casemiro could be kept on for another year following his impressive 2025\/26 campaign, but that won\u2019t stop United from going out and buying his long-term replacement.<\/p>\n

Manuel Ugarte was seen as the heir to Casemiro<\/a>, but he has struggled for minutes under Amorim and looks more likely to be moved on.<\/p>\n

Instead, United are being linked with the likes of Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson as their next star midfielder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryan Robson spoke passionately about Casemiro being one of his \u201cfavourite\u201d players in the current Manchester United squad.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245628,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[102877,21086,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-245627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-bryan-robson","tag-casemiro","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
