Casemiro's departure is crucial for Manchester United to sign a midfielder at a high price, and Bruno Fernandes' withdrawal has been confirmed! Tottenham is looking to sign a new star.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United cannot afford to sign a new midfielder at a high price because Casemiro is unable to leave. Casemiro has one year left on his contract with the Red Devils, earning £350,000 per week, the highest in the team. The club had arranged for four intermediaries to promote "Fat Tiger," but the 33-year-old veteran has no takers.

According to the Premier League's PSR rules on profitability and sustainability, Manchester United needs to receive £15 million in transfer fees to avoid losses on Casemiro's deal. However, no one is willing to pay this amount; interest from the Saudi Arabian league exists only in rumors, and European clubs are deterred by Casemiro's salary.

Casemiro performed well in last season's Europa League but had an average showing in the Premier League. He successfully returned to the Brazil national team under Ancelotti and is determined to stay at Manchester United until his contract expires. Given the current trend, the likelihood of Fat Tiger remaining at Manchester United is nearly 100%.

Manchester United hopes to strengthen their midfield, but currently, including Casemiro, they already have five midfielders. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS will not approve high-cost signings. The club must raise significant funds through player sales, including a high-earning player, to enhance their chances of strengthening the midfield.

According to current rumors, Manchester United's priority for midfield reinforcements is behind that of strikers and goalkeepers, and they are primarily in contact with cheaper midfielders like Ndidi from Leicester City and Javier Gracia from Valencia, who are priced at around €10-20 million.

Following Amorim's tactical arrangements, captain Bruno Fernandes will drop back to midfield in the new season. Other options for this position include Ugarte, who was signed for €60 million last summer, and youth players Toby Collier and Kobe Meno. Mason Mount, the £60 million man, will not play in midfield; he will serve as a backup for the No. 10 role in attack, claiming he has the ability to compete for a starting spot.

"I am 100% confident!" Mount said during training in the U.S. "What I mean is, whenever you get a chance to play, you want to make an impact and hope to decide the game. That's always how I've viewed it. You have to seize every opportunity, and I will always back myself. I know what I can do. At a club like Manchester United, to perform, you need to compete. Meanwhile, as a team, we must stick together."

Ugarte had fluctuating form last season, leading to his exclusion from the Europa League final by Amorim. Earlier this year, Meno rejected Manchester United's initial new contract offer, rumored to be seeking a £200,000 weekly salary. This week, "TBR Open Air" reported that Tottenham inquired about signing the 20-year-old United prospect this summer.

However, this may just be a way for Meno's agent to negotiate a pay raise. Dean Saunders, a former Premier League player, revealed that the young Red Devils' agent claims their renewal conditions are not high. Saunders explained, "I know his agent, and compared to the earnings of his Manchester United teammates, his asking price isn’t too high. But this poses a dilemma for the club: how to handle Meno and how much to pay him?"

He continued, "Because he hasn't contributed much in games yet has been called up to the England team, now at Manchester United, his teammates earn three to four times what he does. So, to protect the club's assets, how much weekly salary do you offer him to sign a new contract? Or if he doesn't sign, you have to sell him, or he'll leave for free."
