Manchester United won back-to-back games for the first time since Ruben Amorim took charge. This summer, they invested in their squad to back the Portuguese boss.
Even after losing games they should have won, the Manchester United management backed Ruben Amorim. Now, they seem to reap their dividends for backing Amorim.
United beat the defending Premier League champions in their own backyard at Anfield for the first time since 2026.
However, the Portuguese boss has one eye on the January transfer window. The reason is that he wants to include a midfielder.
Also, there is growing uncertainty around one of Manchester United’s most experienced midfielders.
Speculation over a possible reunion with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr resurfaced during the summer, and interest from the Saudi Pro League remains strong.
According to Football Insider, Casemiro is now preparing to listen to offers from Saudi Arabia. He knows that this could be his final major career move and is open to assessing his options.
The Brazilian has rediscovered some of his best form in recent weeks and worked his way back into Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Casemiro’s contract, worth around £375,000 per week, runs until next June. Manchester United are reportedly considering a short extension, but only if he accepts a significant pay cut.
The Red Devils know they cannot afford to keep paying such high wages for another season.
However, his recent form has strengthened his value both for the club and for Brazil, where Carlo Ancelotti has brought him back into the national team fold.
United’s midfield remains a matter of discussion among fans and pundits. Kobbie Mainoo continues to face uncertainty over his role, while Bruno Fernandes remains untouchable in Amorim’s setup.
So, If Casemiro agrees to a reduced deal, Manchester United may prefer to keep him for another year rather than lose him for free.
