The 33-year-old Brazilian veteran Casemiro still plays a key role in Manchester United, but his contract will expire next summer. "talkSPORT" reports that Amorim may keep Casemiro.

Just a few months ago, it seemed that Casemiro's days at Manchester United were numbered. However, now the Brazilian midfielder has become an important part of Amorim's squad.

In fact, of the 20 goals Manchester United has conceded this season, only 5 occurred with Casemiro on the court. Casemiro's outstanding performance makes it no longer a certainty that he will leave Manchester United when his contract expires next summer.

talkSPORT understands that Amorim celebrated his first anniversary as coach of the Red Devils on November 11, and he is open to retaining the five-time Champions League champion.

However, this may require Casemiro to accept a salary cut. The 33-year-old Brazilian star is currently one of Manchester United's highest-paid players, with a weekly salary of more than 300,000 pounds. In February next year, Casemiro will celebrate his 34th birthday.
