Is there a chance Casemiro will stay?

Through our Ask about Manchester United form, you've queried whether the stability and improvement of Manchester United under Michael Carrick will prompt the club to ask Casemiro to stay on for another year, especially given he has such vast experience in the Champions League.

I just don't see that as being likely. In fact, Casemiro's exit is one of the reasons why the club are keen that talks with Harry Maguire over a contract extension beyond the rest of the campaign reach a positive conclusion. They feel losing Casemiro and Maguire in one summer would be too much.

The reality is Sir Jim Ratcliffe is simply not going to sign off an extension on Casemiro's current terms. I also think the player is quite keen to explore his options beyond this summer's World Cup. I could see him earning lots of money from the Saudi Pro-League, or Major League Soccer. I guess there is also the option of returning to Brazil or staying in Europe, although I am not convinced the latter two choices would hit his earning potential.

For United, they are already heavily down the road of deciding who to target when it comes to central midfield additions – and that will not be cheap. United don't want to be in the position of paying huge sums – either in terms of transfer fee or wages - for a player who is going to sit on the bench.

Casemiro has said he is leaving. I am pretty sure he will.
