[Stormisover]

Casemiro has been crying after the game against Brentford seems he has been realize that Casemiro will leave Manchester United with happy ending and i have to says the fans should be respect to him because Casemiro has been help Manchester united to through an difficult condition and the win result from Brentford is really valuable because Manchester united only one step again to secured champion league spots and it could be very good achievement if they will finish at 3rd place at the end of this season and mathematically it took 2 points remaining to achieve the target but it won't be hard for Manchester united to gets it considering they are in the good shape

He cried because he was touched that he could contribute to Man United victory against Brentford, moreover he will leave Man United at the end of the season so he was sad because he left Man United when the club was trying to rise from the slump even though he actually wanted to be part of the club success in the next seasons who knows the history of the past will repeat itself to become the EPL champion, but what can he do, it's time for him to leave, after all he has also been part of the club success this season to reach a place in the Champions League zone.

Casemiro is enjoying his stay in Manchester United and he does not want to leave Manchester United at the end of the season. So Casemiro got emotional and cried at the end of Manchester United and Brentford game because he will be leaving the club he loves so much when he can still help them get outstanding results next season. It is not a big deal for Manchester United management to give Casemiro another contract till 2027, but i do not know why Manchester United management does not want to fulfill the request of Manchester United fans to renew Casemiro's contract.

You know sometimes I think the Manchester United management act with no reasoning, like what is stopping this men to just give Uncle Cas just a year contract, but yet they decided to be adamant of it, like deep down letting Casemiro go is not a very nice idea for me, Manchester United management should give this move a rethink because they are about to miss something huge, even Casemiro don't want to leave the team, this is not the first time he's getting emotional, yet Manchester United chose to harden their hearts towards him.

If Arsenal somehow bottle this league this season, this will be the ending for them because they're never going to win the EPL and this time, it will be for a very long time. Gunners have been amazing this season and maintaining their tempo in the league but when it's ending part of the season, that's when they start developing inconsistent performance and the mentality of the players becomes shaky.

Arsenal have already fuck up because the only hope that they have now is Manchester City to lose like three among of their remaining matches, which I don’t think it can possible if that should be the case that Manchester City actually lose some matches we don’t even sure if arsenal can win all of their remaining matches; due to how their performances is going very bad all this while.

And ever since they began performing in that way i lose interest on them because this is unfair all the efforts Arsenal put in right from beginning of the season, and later bottle the league what a big disappointment shall let wait and see how their remaining matches will goes.

[SensitiveEyes]

Honestly I thought about this same way, what if Arsenal gain another 3 point this weekend and dominate the rest matches meanwhile Manchester City has pending matches to play against other club although it’s not like they will not win the match if only they play harder but, there’s nothing compared to an already played match. Arsenal still has the pressure to win the trophy viewing how the points are very close just a matter of goal difference and it will be a shame if this is the only hindrance viewing how they struggled to play against Newcastle obviously the force was there yet couldn’t score another goal.

Fulham will look for inspiration like Bournemouth beating Arsenal in the PL. Mikel will gift Pep to the PL title if Arsenal get anything less than 3 points.

Arsenal could be 6 points ahead of City by the time City play the Everton match. If the Gunners gain another 3 points this weekend it will separate them from Man City. There will be tension in the City camp if they fall 6 points behind. Pep must win the match against Everton to put pressure on Mikel. The coaches know the 2026 PL could be decided on goal difference. Pep and Mikel want clean sheets because they understand how valuable it can be.

Casemiro really loves Manchester United, that's what I think. He believes he can do even more for this team. I think keeping him here would be a sensible idea. Even if you're not going to play him, he's a good backup and a player with character who can be a good role model for the younger players. He's a very strong midfielder and this is one of his best seasons. I think he deserves to stay at Manchester United for another year, but of course the final decision is up to the management, not us.

[SquallLeonhart]

Casemiro leaving will not be as big of a deal as people think, but Bruno Fernandes leaving will be. There is still no guarantee that he will stay with the team so far, and anything could happen, we are not sure what we are going to see, and because of that I am not entirely sure if we are going to see Bruno staying or not. If he does end up leaving, things will not look great for them and it might get very bad for them.

We should realize that it is not a good thing and he will not be replaced by anyone who is at least as good, whoever they end up getting, will most probably not be as good as Fernandes. This is the most important part, Casemiro can be replaced and even already has but Bruno is a very key figure there.

[Issa56]

Arsenal have already fuck up because the only hope that they have now is Manchester City to lose like three among of their remaining matches, which I don’t think it can possible if that should be the case that Manchester City actually lose some matches we don’t even sure if arsenal can win all of their remaining matches; due to how their performances is going very bad all this while.

Most people know it’s just going to be difficult for Manchester city to lose any match now, pep Guardiola doesn’t joke with periods like this. Pep Guardiola will do everything possible to win all the matches which he is having left, and their is no assurance that Arsenal are going to win all the matches which they are also having left, they both might be dropping points.

Few months ago Arsenal were ahead of Manchester City with around 9 points, I don’t know how Arsenal missed up everything and they are just ahead of Manchester city with just 3 points, and Manchester city are having 1 outstanding match to play. Honestly Arsenal messed up big time. If not that Arsenal fucked up, it would have been easy for them to win the premier league title this season because Manchester city performance has not been consistent, but Arsenal really fuck up.

[GiftedMAN]

Casemero's case is different cause age is no longer on his side and his wages is high the management would have given another year contract if he would accept a pay cut. I think no both him and the management has agreed that he's leaving so in his case we know that this is his last season with United. The case of Bruno Fernandes is different, he's the play make of the team we can't afford to let him go now that he's the best player that we have. Foe now Bruno Fernandes is staying even till next season he's still a Manchester United player.

There is always one uncontrollable mistake Manchester United management usually makes, this mistake is always letting a good and reliable player go when the team needs them most. This happened in the case Cristiano,  Tevez and other good players now they are about to let Bruno fernandes go even when we know he is the most consistent and reliable player in Manchester United's squad now. The best approach followed by other teams is getting a suitable replacement before letting such wonderful players go even if his wages is too high but that of Manchester United is different as they consider profit without considering possible sources of that profit they are looking for.

Bruno Fernadez is 31 years, years is no longer on his side as well. Casemero will leave Manchester United latest this summer. And Bruno Fernadez might leave Manchester United next season or in 2028. Both player are aging, soon their performance will decline. My dear, if age is has affected a player, the club will let him leave it doesn't matter if he is the best player in the team.

And ever since they began performing in that way i lose interest on them because this is unfair all the efforts Arsenal put in right from beginning of the season, and later bottle the league what a big disappointment shall let wait and see how their remaining matches will goes.

Why do you say Arsenal are doomed when they've returned to winning ways after their win against Newcastle United? Arsenal currently leads the table, and whether they admit it or not, they very ambitious about winning the title this season.

They only have four games left to win, and if they finish level on points with City, we'll see the champions win by goal difference.

On the other hand, Arsenal are under pressure, but they're not doomed. They performed quite well this season, both in the league and the Champions League. Their performance is questionable, but we'll see how Arteta overcomes those doubts with a prestigious title this season.

Manchester City is also under immense pressure, as if they drop points, their efforts will be in vain, and this is where their downfall begins.

If we compare Arsenal and Manchester City performance currently in the Premier League, you will found out Manchester City are more informed that Arsenal. If we are looking at both teams that has a high chance of losing any of their remaining matches, many of us will be pointing at Arsenal to do so.

Look at how Arsenal struggles to score against their opponents in given match, compare it with how Manchester City comfortably wins their match, home or away.

I will say it that Arsenal should forget about winning the Premier League title if they losses this season because next season they won't find the same opportunities because other top teams will think of ways to strengthen their team to perform better than they have

I know that Arsenal are the one leading the top of the league currently now and their ambition is for them to achieve their goal this season in this premier league, but is base on how their performances has been moving all this while that is what is making me contemplate about them.

They only have four games left to win, and if they finish level on points with City, we'll see the champions win by goal difference.

Four matches left for Arsenal to win, but do you know that Manchester City still have outstanding match to play this means even though arsenal win all of their remaining matches, prayers will be on Manchester City to lose two games in other for Arsenal to finally win the title this season; let us wait and see what will be their outcomes.

Manchester City is also under immense pressure, as if they drop points, their efforts will be in vain, and this is where their downfall begins.

Yeah, both teams are under pressure right now, and anything that make Manchester City lose even one match now their pressure will be more high than Arsenal, because their attention will be on their next games and then from there they will begin confusing we hope arsenal maintain their lead and keep their consistency in every matches that remain.

A lot of times I've stated my own disappointment in arsenal on this thread, but I am not giving up on them, I genuinely love arsenal and they have been my favorite football club right from when I was a teenager, and it will make absolutely no sense to come and give up now, I can't imagine myself supporting another club, this won't be fun anymore because the joy and fun of supporting a club is in sticking with the club through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad times,.

I am no longer looking forward to arsenal winning the Premier league title this season even though I know it well that all hopes are not lost yet, but then, them winning the league title at this point will require some miracle from heaven.
So, I am simply forgetting this season and looking forward to next season again, I strongly believe that in one this coming seasons, arsenal will eventually win the title again.

The funny part is Arsenal always reinforce their strength, find a new strategy at every start afterwards decides to go low by automatically losing every match. We’ve seen same event happen over and over meaning if they lose the trophy to Manchester City it’s definitely 3 seasons now without winning any trophy, what an absolute shame besides Arsenal has one of the best players so far yet nothing to prove.
Manchester City was once in this position of playing poorly and now they’re the ones putting Arsenal in this form, over the years Manchester City has mastered a very nice come back game almost all the records it’s either they start the season so poor afterwards they play with such speed and better strategy to win, no doubt Manchester City is on the safer side when it comes to winning the premier league.

That is the reality of being a true fan and you do not just show up when things are going well. Sticking with Arsenal through the frustrating moments is what makes the good times actually mean something. At the same time, writing off the season completely might be a bit too early. The Premier League can change quickly and injuries, loss of form, or pressure can shift momentum in a few weeks. It may not be likely, but it’s not impossible either. Football has a way of surprising people when expectations drop. Your mindset though is solid, supporting a club is not just about trophies but it is about identity, history, and connection.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Furthermore, team mentality is also very influential. We saw how frustrated Arsenal's players were in their last match, even though they won, while Manchester City's players were a little more relaxed under the pressure. Manchester City's players have indeed improved significantly compared to their early season performance, while we haven't seen the same from Arsenal's players. With Arteta focusing on the two remaining competitions, then we are worried that they will miss out on their chances in both competitions to win the title and that was not what the fans expected at all.

Well, I don't know, I see Arsenal as only half-assed. Even in the Champions League match, I thought I saw more from this team, just like with Atlético. It seems everything will be resolved next week in England, but I see Arsenal as lackluster, always relying on penalties. I don't know, I think they need more motivation. I mean, they're in the Champions League semi-finals, they have to give more. For me, the only interesting part was the second half of the game. With the Premier League, the slightest mistake by Arsenal will be capitalized on by City and vice versa. It's that delicate.

[len01]

Well, I don't know, I see Arsenal as only half-assed. Even in the Champions League match,

-snip

It’s not about being half-assed, but more about Arsenal lacking the mentality needed to actually secure titles in major competitions. And it’s not like they’re short on motivation either, over the past few seasons, that should’ve been enough to push them to at least win the EPL, even if they end up falling short in the UCL.

The key point is that winning the EPL would help build a champion mentality within the squad and definitely boost the players’ confidence going into the next season. But unfortunately, the same pattern keeps repeating, strong performances early on, then a drop off as the season gets closer to the final stretch.

[wakier]

Casemiro really loves Manchester United, that's what I think. He believes he can do even more for this team. I think keeping him here would be a sensible idea. Even if you're not going to play him, he's a good backup and a player with character who can be a good role model for the younger players. He's a very strong midfielder and this is one of his best seasons. I think he deserves to stay at Manchester United for another year, but of course the final decision is up to the management, not us.

As you said in your last sentence, the decision rests with Manchester United management. We can't do much except hope Manchester United can retain Casemiro or find a better replacement, but my feeling is that Manchester United will still let him go.
Let alone Casemiro, even the future of current manager Michael Carrick remains unclear. The club seems confused about whether to make the manager permanent or replace him with someone with more experience. In my opinion, finding a suitable manager is very difficult, and Michael Carrick is a perfect fit for the Manchester United players. I think he deserves a permanent move.

[dezoel]

This is an interesting info because it shows how important Casemiro is for United but at the same time I understand that United can't afford his huge salary anymore, especially for a 34-year-old player. I don't think he ever scored so many goals in a single season but it's probably because at United he had to be more offensive due to the lack of real good strikers, so probably he tries more often to solve the situation by himself.

I'd agree with our Manchester United legend Roy Keane who also thinks Casemiro should be getting one more year as a result of his leadership and experience. He may not play week in and out but he should at least be in the dressing to put through the young midfielders coming during the transfer window.
I'd love if he stayed but then, Inter Miami are offering a lot more than what he currently earns. South Americans being South American, I'd say he leaves.

Price is the issue, Casemiro will get a ton of money from the Saudi league, at least 20-30 million a year, and United can't afford that so he will eave. One more year of keeping him would mean a lot of money for United and a lot of money lost for Casemiro too because he won't get that type of salary.

They should part ways in a nice amicable way and United should look for the future. Don't get me wrong, him for one more year would only be good for United, but the finances do not allow that to happen.

Casemiro is very old to be receiving what Manchester United is paying him when his performance is below some other players, he could leave Manchester United and the club wouldn't loss consistency but there are some players in Manchester United who is not receiving Casemiro amount but if they leave Manchester United that season will become a swinging season for the club. His contract is within two months to expire, is Manchester United planing to spend that much money for another season or they would just signed someone else?. If it was Saudi Arabia the money they are paying him will not mean anything for the club.
