Observations made by the two Man Utd legends look more ominous amid Casemiro's latest setback.
Casemiro may have not lived up to the levels of last season but his latest setback is a blow for a struggling Manchester United side.
United shelled out an initial £60m for the five-time Champions League winner in a transfer that could see the fee increase by £70m. Upon his arrival, Roy Keane was well aware of the repercussions of this. However, he has missed a total of 11 games so far, eight of which were for suspensions last season. That figure is set to increase and with it, United’s investment will continue to depreciate.
“But someone, in two years’ time, is going to pick up a player that’s beyond his best years, on £20m a year that they can’t shift. That might be Erik ten Hag, a new manager or new owners. So what does the future hold for Casemiro? It is unimaginable to think he will be a key starter by the age of 35 and so at best he will be a rotation player. More realistically, he may be surplus to requirements but there is the possibility he stands firm and waits out his contract.
