Casemiro: Matheus Cunha throws teammate’s future into doubt
Two of Manchester United’s best performers this season have been Casemiro and Matheus Cunha.
The Brazilian duo have been key in the club’s return to the Champions League and sensational results under interim manager Michael Carrick.
They both have nine goals this season, which is particularly impressive for Casemiro, who is a defensive midfielder by trade but has transformed himself into a dangerous weapon at set pieces.
Cunha has also really taken on responsibility in 2026, scoring crucial goals against the likes of Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Liverpool.
It was announced earlier this year that Casemiro would not be signing a new deal at Old Trafford and that this would be his last season at the club.

He has been in great form since the announcement, though, and recently won the club’s Premier League player of the month award for April.
The Brazilian has also been linked to numerous moves, such as Inter Miami in the United States of America and also a return to his native country with Sao Paulo.
Owing to his success on the pitch this year, some fans have taken to chanting “one more year” at the Brazilian to try and convince him to stay at the club.
His teammate clearly feels the same way, according to comments carried by The Mirror.
Commenting on the time he has spent playing with Casemiro, he said, “I play with him in the national team and I know how important he is. He’s an amazing guy. And yeah, to have this guy in the dressing room is a privilege.”
He added, “we don’t know in the end how it is with his contract, and then of course we, everyone, hopes there’s a little bit more. Of course, of course, I know it’s harder than we talked about, but yeah, in the end, you never know.”
Casemiro will next be in action for the Red Devils when they travel to the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon to face Sunderland.
