Manchester United<\/a> midfielder Casemiro<\/a> could reportedly make the move to the MLS when his contract with the Red Devils expires at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n

The Brazil international has been an important player for the 20-time English champions this term, featuring on 15 occasions in all competitions, scoring four times and registering one assist.<\/p>\n

Casemiro missed Sunday’s 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa<\/a><\/strong> in the Premier League through suspension, but he will be back in the fold for the clash with Newcastle United on Boxing Day.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have the option to extend the 33-year-old’s contract for a further year, but that is highly unlikely to happen due to the midfielder’s substantial wage packet.<\/p>\n

Casemiro is the highest-earner at Old Trafford, collecting in excess of \u00a3300,000 a week.<\/p>\n

MLS clubs ‘monitoring’ Casemiro’s Man United situation<\/p>\n

The Brazilian continues to be linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, but according to Marca<\/a>, there is a strong chance that the midfielder could arrive in the MLS.<\/p>\n

A number of clubs from North America are said to be keeping a close eye on Casemiro’s situation, and he could be offered the chance to make a lucrative move to country’s top division.<\/p>\n

Casemiro arrived at Man United from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, and he has represented the 20-time English champions on 140 occasions, scoring 21 goals and registering 13 assists in the process.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian has been one of the team’s most consistent performers this season, but unless a new deal can be agreed on significantly reduced terms, then it is highly likely that the ex-Real Madrid star will leave next June.<\/p>\n

Fernandes, Ugarte, Mainoo are also facing uncertain futures at Man United<\/p>\n

Man United are expected to overhaul their midfield in 2026, as Bruno Fernandes<\/a>, Manuel Ugarte<\/a> and Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> are also facing uncertain futures at the club.<\/p>\n

A mid-season signing in that area of the field has not been ruled out, with Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher<\/a> potentially the most realistic target in the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n

Sekou Kone, 19, is a highly-rated prospect in the middle of the Man United midfield, while Jack Fletcher, 18, made his first-team debut in Sunday’s clash with Villa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United midfielder Casemiro could reportedly make the move to the MLS when his contract with the Red…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":648215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[4230,68644,94,707,2826,22138,7126,101,4151,93,79,68303,10938,1068,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-648214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-epl","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-golf","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-olympics","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-rugby","17":"tag-sport","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-sports-mole","20":"tag-teams","21":"tag-tennis","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115763098650251365","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=648214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/648214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/648215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=648214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=648214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=648214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
