He is actually the bad egg in this Man United team. Until Ten Hag lets go of him, they will never smell the Premier League title. I can bet my life on that,” former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp urged Ten Hag to let go of one Man United player, warning that if he doesn’t, they will continue suffering and risk losing their Champions League spot next season.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has issued a stark warning to Manchester United, suggesting that the team will never win the Premier League title unless Erik ten Hag gets rid of a particular player. Klopp is so convinced of this that he stated he would “bet his life” on it, emphasizing the potential consequences of not making the change, including the risk of missing out on a Champions League spot next season.
The player in question, Manchester United midfielder Casemiro, has recently hinted at his intentions to stay with the club through his social media activity. Despite a strong debut season after his transfer from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022, Casemiro struggled to maintain the same level of impact during the 2023/24 campaign, leading to uncertainty about his future at Old Trafford.
There have been rumors linking Casemiro with a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia. Should he leave this season, Manchester United reportedly seeks a transfer fee of £30 million, considering he has two years left on his contract. Amidst these speculations, Casemiro posted on Instagram, suggesting he plans to remain with the club. He shared a picture of himself wearing the new home kit for the upcoming season, captioned: “@manchesterunited 24/25 home kit by @adidasfootball.”
During the past season, Casemiro faced criticism for some of his performances. He made 32 appearances across all competitions, occasionally filling in at centre-back due to a defensive injury crisis. Despite the challenges, he wore the captain’s armband in several matches, including a notable 4-0 loss against Crystal Palace in May.
Casemiro was an unused substitute in Manchester United’s final game of the season, where they triumphed 2-1 over Manchester City to win the FA Cup. His future with the club remains a topic of debate, but his recent social media post suggests that he is preparing to stay and contribute to the team’s efforts in the new season.
