Man Utd told 'harsh conversations' needed with Casemiro this summer as Brazilian 'legend' accused of 'having enough' of life at Old Trafford

Casemiro joined Man Utd in the summer of 2022 in a highly anticipated move for both the player and the club. After a decent first campaign at Old Trafford, the Brazilian legend has struggled to find form this season and as such, there has been a lot of criticism aimed at him for his dwindling form. Yorke believes that sporting director Jason Wilcox will have decisions to make this summer and that the former Real Madrid midfielder 'looks like he’s had enough' at Old Trafford.

Speaking to Crypto Casino, Yorke said: "It's hard to criticise Casemiro because of what he’s achieved in the game, but people should expect better from him in a Manchester United shirt.

"It really hasn’t worked out for him this season after such a good first year with the club and he isn’t getting any younger – he looks like he’s had enough and he wants a new start at another club next season.

"Jason Wilcox and the other directors at Old Trafford are going to have to have harsh conversations with these players, including Casemiro, and find out whether they really want to be here or not, or whether or not they want the manager (Erik ten Hag) here, so it’s a tough one," he continued.

"Casemiro’s a legend of the game and it’s a difficult one, but his name has very much been in the focal point of conversation over the past few months, so it’s certainly something the club need to address this summer. A decision needs to be made."

Casemiro has been linked with a potential move to the Saudi Pro League this summer with Al-Nassr reportedly interested in the services of the Brazilian, as they look to challenge for the league title with Al-Hilal next summer. As for Man Utd, they have been linked with a move for Benfica starlet Joao Neves as a like-for-like replacement for Casemiro in the pivot position.

Man Utd and the Brazilian will bring an end to their league campaign with a trip to Brighton on May 19 before they begin preparations for the crucial FA Cup final clash against Manchester City on May 25.
