Manchester United remain committed to allowing Casemiro to depart this summer despite his recent standout performances, as the club shifts focus to long-term midfield rebuilding plans.
Manchester United have no intention of reversing their decision to part ways with veteran midfielder Casemiro this summer, even as the Brazilian enjoys a career resurgence under interim manager Michael Carrick.
The 33-year-old delivered another masterclass in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Fulham, scoring the opener before providing an exquisite no-look assist for Matheus Cunha. His performances have drawn praise from pundits including Jamie Carragher, who called him "a completely different player" in recent weeks.
Despite Casemiro's revival, United executives view this as the right moment to transition:
"United are determined to avoid past mistakes of short-term thinking," explained Sky Sports' Rob Dorsett. "They've done the farewell tributes - there's no turning back now."
The Red Devils are reportedly focusing their recruitment efforts on:
| Player | Club | Estimated Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Elliot Anderson | Nottingham Forest | £100m+ |
| Carlos Baleba | Brighton | Undisclosed |
| João Gomes | Wolves | Undisclosed |
Pundit Paul Merson backed the decision: "At 34, it's time. He's been brilliant, but United must build for the future."
The club's data-driven approach saw £280m invested in attackers last summer. Now, midfield reinforcements take priority as United look to finally stabilize their squad.
