Casemiro is now in a very embarrassing situation, holding the third year salary in the Premier League and the ninth year salary in the five major leagues, but he has been abandoned by the Brazil national team in a row, and he has not played in the 2024 Copa America, and now he has not even played in the world preliminaries.
Brazil announced the latest edition of the World Qualifiers, led by Vinicius, 17-year-old Estéwang selected, in midfield, the Premier League's two major midfielders, namely Newcastle's Guimaraes and Wolves' Joao Gomez, Manchester United defender Casemiro after the 2024 Copa America, once again in the player's health situation could not be selected in the Brazil squad. The successive abandonments also mean that the Brazil national team will basically no longer use Casemiro in the future.
Casemiro is Manchester United's highest-paid player, with an annual salary of 21.6 million euros, tied for third in the Premier League with Mohamed Salah, behind Manchester City's duo Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland, and ninth in the top five leagues. Casemiro has such a high salary, but he is a high-paid and incompetent player at Manchester United, and the fat tiger averaged 2.1 times per game in the Premier League last season, the most players in the Premier League. Casemiro is in terrible form right now, but Manchester United can't find a buyer for Casemiro, so they have to use it. Casemiro is so well paid that the player won't leave and has 2 years left on his contract. Casemiro is 34 years old after fulfilling his contract with Manchester United, and he can retire directly after earning another 2 years.
Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why Ten Hag has always wanted Manchester United to sign Ugarte this summer window, that is, to replace Casemiro with Uruguay's main midfielder and form a new midfield combination with Menou.
