Man Utd Star Casemiro Gains £240,000 Settlement After Court Agreement Reached
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has secured a £240,000 settlement from his former club Sao Paulo following the resolution of a long-standing labor dispute. This agreement, formalized this week, pertains to payments related to his time at the club’s academy.
Overview of the Settlement
The Brazilian outlet UOL reported that Casemiro’s claim, which has been ongoing since 2014, originally cited unpaid earnings totaling around £290,000. The final settlement amount reached is £240,000, which will significantly boost the 33-year-old’s finances.
Details of the Agreement
- The payments will be distributed to Casemiro on a monthly basis.
- If Sao Paulo fails to uphold the payment schedule, the total could rise to £363,000.
- The labor court in Sao Paulo has approved the settlement terms.
Implications for Casemiro
This settlement arrives just in time for the New Year, complementing his already substantial salary at Manchester United. As a key player, Casemiro has been crucial for his team, particularly under head coach Ruben Amorim.
Current Performance and Future Prospects
Casemiro has been instrumental in the midfield, evidenced by his 90-minute performance in the recent 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace. However, he currently faces the possibility of suspension due to accumulating four yellow cards in the Premier League.
Upcoming Matches
Manchester United is preparing for a busy schedule with fixtures against West Ham United, Wolves, and Bournemouth in the next 12 days. The squad may have to navigate these matches without several players who will be unavailable due to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Manchester United’s League Position
Despite various injuries, United has performed well, with only one defeat in their last seven Premier League matches. Currently, they sit eighth in the league table but could move into fourth with a win against West Ham.
Looking Ahead
Coach Ruben Amorim emphasized the importance of focusing on the next match to maintain their league position. As the team strives for a Champions League qualification spot, they are aware of the competitive nature of the league.
