Bryan Robson insists that Michael Carrick and Man Utd should try and convince Casemiro to stay at Old Trafford for another season.

The Red Devils are already committed to signing one or two new midfielders in the summer transfer windowwith potential big-money deals on the horizon.

That could be made easier by Brazil international Casemiro, who is one of the club’s top earners, revealing that he will be leaving Man Utdat the end of the season.

But Man Utd legend Robson thinks Casemiro brings a lot to the current Red Devils side and the club’s hierarchy should attempt to keep him.

Robson told BoyleSports: “I would encourage Casemiro to stay. He’s had a really good season this year.

“He’s a top player. He’s got a great football brain. He’s a really good passer of the ball. He heads the ball well and when he goes in to tackle, he means it.

“You don’t stay at Real Madrid for the amount of years he did and win Champions League titles if you’re not an absolute top player and people see what you’re really good at.

“So I think next season he could definitely give us a little bit more with his experience. He was great in Europe last year too.”

The Red Devils have decided not to activate the one-year option to keep Casemiro for another year and the Brazilian recently hailed Man Utd as a “special club” in a statement confirming his imminent exit.

Casemiro wrote: “I will carry Manchester United with me throughout my entire life.
