Casemiro says Kobbie Mainoo \u2018is the current and the longer term\u2019 (MUTV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Casemiro believes Kobbie Mainoo can remain top-of-the-line midfielders on this planet for the subsequent 12 years for Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Mainoo has once more established himself as a key figure in United\u2019s midfield following Michael Carrick\u2019s arrival in January, delivering impressive performances in wins against Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Casemiro, meanwhile, is ready to depart United at the top of the season however the 34-year-old is facing calls to increase his stay at Old Trafford as a result of the flourishing midfield partnership he has with Mainoo.<\/p>\n

But while Casemiro insists he is not going to change his mind over his decision to depart Old Trafford this summer, the Brazil international believes United will still have \u2018top-of-the-line No.8s\u2019 in Mainoo.<\/p>\n

\u2018Kobbie is the current and the longer term,\u2019 Casemiro said in a Q&A with United.<\/p>\n

Kobbie Mainoo has impressed since being handed an everyday role at Manchester United under Michael Carrick (AMA\/Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018I believe that he’s top-of-the-line No.8s and could be for that for the subsequent 12 years.<\/p>\n

\u2018He’s a player I actually like. He at all times wants the ball. It’s true that football can\u2019t change your mentality but Kobbie demonstrated that he hasn\u2019t modified his focus once.<\/p>\n

\u2018He has to proceed focusing like he’s now and proceed playing the necessary role he’s now. But what a player he’s, he’s an incredible player.<\/p>\n

\u2018He has demonstrated this, within the Euros final with England, he has demonstrated it in finals, he scored within the FA Cup [in the 2024 final win against Manchester City].<\/p>\n

\u2018Kobbie is the current and the longer term.\u2019<\/p>\n
