Bruno Fernandes
January 2026

Reports say Fernandes wants around £400,000 per week to stay and will delay committing until United confirm the next permanent manager, with his frustration aimed at club operations and instability. The claim is United may need to break their wage structure, and Casemiro’s departure is framed as a potential budget release. Other clubs are positioned to move if Fernandes signals he is open to leaving.

Manchester United and Casemiro confirmed he will leave in the summer when his contract expires, ending a four-season spell at Old Trafford. United’s statement highlighted 146 games, 21 goals, plus Carabao Cup 2023 and FA Cup 2024 success, with a final home tribute planned versus Nottingham Forest.

United beat City 2-0, with Mbeumo and Dorgu scoring after two first-half goals were disallowed for offside and a third was later ruled out by VAR. It was United’s first home win over City since January 2023. United pressed aggressively and controlled midfield through Casemiro, disrupting City’s build-up and limiting their rhythm.

Ruben Amorim says Manchester United have made “no decision” on new deals for Harry Maguire and Casemiro, with both veterans edging towards the final months of their contracts despite reviving form and growing responsibility under the Portuguese coach this season. With European qualification, squad balance and wage structure still unclear, Amorim wants to see where United finish before committing, stressing long-term planning over sentiment at a time when Maguire could accept reduced terms and Casemiro’s high salary complicates any extension.

December 2025

Manchester United are drawing up plans for a new long-term midfield partnership next summer, closely tracking Premier League talents including Anderson, Wharton, Baleba and Scott as doubts grow over the futures of Fernandes, Casemiro, Mainoo and Ugarte in Amorim’s evolving squad. With high earners Fernandes and Casemiro potentially sellable, Mainoo frustrated by minutes and Ugarte yet to win Amorim’s trust, United expect to fund at least one big midfield signing via outgoing deals, prioritising younger profiles on sensible wages after missing out on Declan Rice in 2023.

Manchester United have decided not to entertain permanent offers for Kobbie Mainoo in January despite his lack of league starts, reaffirming their belief in the 20-year-old’s long-term potential while remaining open to a possible loan if circumstances demand game time elsewhere. Ruben Amorim insists Mainoo can still change his mind through training performances, hinting at a future deeper role if United switch to three midfielders, while citing Casemiro’s resurgence as proof that patience and persistence can restore status within his merit-based selection approach.

Ruben Amorim’s refusal to start Kobbie Mainoo in the Premier League, despite the midfielder’s explosive 2024 breakout and England impact, has fuelled anger among Manchester United fans who see homegrown talent as core to the club’s identity and now question the manager’s direction. Mainoo has logged just 183 league minutes and mostly late cameos while Casemiro starts, with Amorim even sniggering when asked about him after the West Ham draw before defending his selection rights, a reaction branded disrespectful by many supporters and criticised by former players such as Paul Scholes.

Pundits and reports are pushing Manchester United to make Tyler Adams their primary midfield target, arguing he is a better immediate fit than Adam Wharton or Elliot Anderson as Amorim searches for a reliable defensive anchor to reshape his engine room. With Brighton blocking January talks for Carlos Baleba and complications around Wharton’s new Palace contract and Anderson’s availability, Adams’ Premier League output at Bournemouth, built on interceptions and tackles in a Makelele style role, is seen as the cleanest tactical and financial solution.

Brazil produced a fast, ruthless first half to beat Senegal 2-0, with Estevao (Chelsea) curling in the opener and Casemiro (Brazil) adding a controlled finish from a training ground routine. The win snapped Senegal’s long unbeaten run and showcased Brazil’s attacking depth. Edouard Mendy faced constant pressure as Matheus Cunha hit woodwork twice before the goals, while Senegal forced good stops from Ederson and missed a big Iliman Ndiaye chance. The night soured when Gabriel limped off with an adductor issue, prompting Carlo Ancelotti’s public apology and leaving Arsenal worried.

The £71m summer signing struck twice after halftime to reach four league goals, complementing finishes from Cunha and Casemiro. Amorim lauded Mbeumo’s transitions, growing final-third structure, and fluid interchange with Amad, calling them hard to contain. United’s third straight league win lifted them to fourth, reflecting sharper pressing traps and quicker vertical attacks under the Portuguese coach.
