Casemiro Says He Wants to Stay at Man United Till His Contract Ends in 2026
Manchester United’s Casemiro has expressed his desire to stay at the club until his contract ends in 2026. Despite facing limited playing time under manager Ruben Amorim, the Brazilian midfielder is determined to see out his contract.
He started in United’s recent 1-0 loss at Tottenham, a result influenced by squad injuries, but had previously been left out of the starting XI for 10 of the last 11 league games.
Though Casemiro has had to adjust to a reduced role, he remains focused on staying professional. “I have to continue doing my job with respect and good behavior,” he shared in an interview with Diario AS.
He added, “I’d love to play more. I don’t think there’s any player who wouldn’t. But I want to contribute to the team in this moment. I approach everything with respect for my teammates and staff, and, most importantly, respect for the club.”
Casemiro also confirmed that he has no plans to leave soon. “I have a year and a half left on my contract, and I hope to fulfill it here in Manchester.
I feel at home here, and my family does too. We’re all adapting, speaking English, and we’re grateful to the fans and the club. I’m content here, although, of course, I’d rather be playing than sitting on the bench.”
Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal has named himself and Pedri as the most talented players in the team.
In an interview with beIN Sports, the young Spanish star was asked to identify the most gifted player in the squad. Without hesitation, Yamal said, “Me and Pedri.”
The 17-year-old also spoke about his progress at Barcelona, saying he’s focused on improving his stats and growing his career.
“I’m taking things step by step, working on my numbers, and aiming to keep winning. In Spain, you know how the press can be, but I just focus on my game. We respond on the pitch, and I always enjoy playing with my teammates,” Yamal said.
Since joining Barcelona’s senior team in 2023, Yamal has made a big impact. He currently leads the LaLiga assist chart with 11 assists in 25 matches this season.
Nigerian defender Ola Aina is set to renew his contract with Nottingham Forest despite attracting interest from top Premier League clubs like Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool.
Reports from TEAMtalk suggest that Aina has decided to commit to a new long-term deal with Forest under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
The 28-year-old has impressed this season with his solid performances, making 29 league appearances and scoring two goals.
Aina joined Forest on a free transfer two years ago after leaving Serie A side Torino, and his consistent form has made him a key player for the club.
Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has admitted fault for the mistake that led to Zimbabwe’s last-minute equaliser in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.
Victor Osimhen had put Nigeria ahead in the 74th minute after connecting with a cross from Ola Aina. However, Zimbabwe leveled the score in stoppage time when Tawanda Chirewa slipped past Troost-Ekong and fired the ball past goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.
Troost-Ekong, who was named the Most Valuable Player at the 2023 AFCON, faced backlash on social media for allowing Chirewa to get through so easily.
Addressing the criticism on X, the former Watford defender wrote, “I take responsibility. Same target ahead. We’ll do it together! Nigeria Super Eagles.”
The draw puts Nigeria’s qualification hopes at risk, with the team now sitting in fourth place in Group C with six points, behind group leaders South Africa.
