Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim has offered a cautious response when asked about the club’s option to extend Casemiro’s contract, suggesting that decisions about the veteran midfielder’s future — and that of Harry Maguire — will be made later.
Speaking during a pre-match press conference, Amorim said his priority is to keep both players focused on the current campaign.
“My goal is to continue to count on Casemiro and Harry Maguire — they have the same situation,” Amorim stated. “I don’t know what is going to happen, but let’s focus on this season.”
The remarks come amid speculation about potential squad changes at Old Trafford next summer, with reports suggesting that United could offload several senior players as part of Amorim’s rebuilding strategy.
Casemiro, 33, joined United from Real Madrid in 2022, while Maguire has battled to reclaim a consistent starting role. Amorim’s comments indicate a wait-and-see approach as the club evaluates both players’ form and fitness before making long-term decisions.
For now, the message from the Portuguese boss is clear — focus on the present, and let the future take care of itself.
