Casemiro says he is “very soon” to determine if he will stay at Manchester United next season.
The Brazilian midfielder, who has seen his time playing reduced under director Ruben Amorim, also expressed his desire for more minutes on the pitch.
The 33 -year -old is currently a contract at Old Trafford by 2026, but with United wanting to cut their wage bill, speculation has increased on a possible departure in the upcoming transfer window.
Speaking about his future, Casemiro suggested that any decisions would probably be closer to summer.
“It’s too early to talk about the next season, but of course I have another contract year and then a choice,” he said. “We have important games and on Sunday we have Arsenal.
“It’s too early to talk about the next season. I’m here, I’m available, with absolute happiness, and I’m ready for the coach and the club. As everyone knows, I’m a great character for the club.”

However, since Amorim took over in November, it has been limited to just seven. With doubts about the suitability of Manuel Ugarte-who was absent from the recent United 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad-Casemiro he could present Arsenal this weekend.
Despite his reduced role, the experienced midfielder made it clear that he remains committed to giving the best for the team, recognizing his desire for more play.
“Of course I want to play, but I always say, and these are my values. I respect the coach very much. I respect the club,” he added. “Every day I go to Carrington or Old Trafford, I try to do my best. If a player is on the bench and happy, this player is worth nothing for any team.
“Of course I want to play. I want to have more minutes, but the coach is the one who makes the decisions and I have a lot of respect for him and the club.”
