LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) Casemiro, once a standout midfielder at Manchester United, appears to be facing a decline in the 2023-24 season.
The Brazilian made a strong debut at Old Trafford, contributing to a third-place Premier League finish and Carabao Cup victory in 2022-23.
Nevertheless, his hefty price tag and salary raised questions about the investment, according to club legend Gary Neville.
Now 32, Casemiro is under contract at Manchester United until 2026, with the possibility of extending for an additional year.

However, his performance has been a cause for concern, particularly as the team has suffered six losses in just 11 games this season.
This slump has left them in 10th place in the Premier League and in danger of an early Champions League exit.
While there’s blame to be shared among the team’s struggles, Casemiro’s struggles weigh heavily on manager Erik ten Hag, who may need to make bold decisions to revive the club’s fortunes in the upcoming weeks.
