Casemiro wants to play more at Manchester United and insists he wouldn’t be satisfied picking up his £375,000-a-week wages sat on the bench.

The Brazil star was in United’s starting line-up against Real Sociedad in the Europa League on Thursday night for only the 19th time in 43 games this season.

The 33-year-old would be happy to see out his contract at Old Trafford under head coach Ruben Amorim, which still has 16 months to run with the option of another year, but not in a bit-part role.

‘If a player is on the bench and is happy, that player is not worth anything for any team,’ said Casemiro.
