Manchester United midfielder, Casemiro, has said he wants to stay at the Premier league club until his contract expires in 2026.
Casemiro has struggled for playing time under new manager, Ruben Amorim.
The Brazilian was included in United’s starting XI for their 1-0 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday due to injuries within the squad.
Before that, he had been benched for 10 of their previous 11 league matches.
But the 32-year-old has vowed to remain professional and see out his deal at Old Trafford.
“I have to keep doing what I’m doing, with a lot of respect, and good behaviour,” Casemiro told Diario AS.
“Of course, I’d like to play more. I don’t know any player who doesn’t want to play. And I want to help the club at this time. I face things with respect for my teammates and the staff, and above all, respect for United.
“I have a year and a half left on my contract, and I’d like to see it out here in Manchester.
“I’m comfortable here, and my family is too. They’ve adapted, we speak English. I’m very grateful to the fans and the club. I’m happy at the club. Happy on the bench? Of course not, that’s something else.”
Casemiro signed for United in a €70 million deal in August 2022, having won five Champions Leagues and three LaLiga titles in nine years at Real Madrid.
