"That's an option of God knows what. I mean, it could be at the same salary as he's on now, which would probably be £300k plus. There's no way they're going to activate that for a player his age and his fitness."
"Although he does look fitter this season, but I think what United are setting out and did set out in their accounts really is I think a clear indicator that they're looking to do something that nobody else has done before, which is to compete and to get back to the highest level having had a disappointing period but also do it at the same time as dropping their overall wage bill on the playing side by maybe £50million."
"I think United are going to drive that player wage bill down to below £250m and he's going to be a big part of it."
Casemiro is out of contract next summer and Manchester United hold an option to extend his deal by one year. The extension could keep his current salary at around £300k per week, which would be considered high relative to his age and fitness. United are targeting a substantial reduction in the playing-side wage bill, aiming to cut it by about £50m and drive total player wages below £250m. The club plans to reshape the squad and wage structure as part of a push to return to top-level competition while improving financial sustainability.
