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.”
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
