Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has confirmed that Casemiro will remain at Old Trafford and will not be leaving for the Saudi Pro League this summer as previously rumored.
Throughout the summer, the Brazilian star has been linked with a move to Al-Nassr in particular, and it was said that Cristiano Ronaldo himself was negotiating with his former teammate to convince him to join the Saudi club.
Ten Hag responded to these reports with clear words, saying, “He is a leader and he can make a difference for us.”
He added, “If he accepts being on the pitch or on the bench according to the team’s needs, of course, I hope he stays with us.”
Casemiro’s performance declined significantly last season, but Ten Hag still considers him an important part of the team’s success and does not intend to let him go. There is a clear understanding between the two parties.
