Ratcliffe must banish “embarrassing” Man Utd dud who earns 10x more than Branthwaite – opinion

The Manchester United player is tied for second place in Premier League earnings.

Defensive back Jarrad Branthwaite of Everton
Manchester United will have a jam-packed summer under the new management of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.

As they want to raise the club’s standards, both on and off the pitch, a plethora of changes are likely to occur.

Player salaries are one area Ratcliffe is keen on keeping under control, as some players make much more than they show on the pitch.

At least one of them is making seven times as much as Alejandro Garnacho.

Manchester United’s sum for Casemiro
United fans looked to Casemiro as a saviour at the beginning of the 2022–23 season since the club had been without a genuine defensive midfielder for a long time.

The Champions League triumph that Real Madrid had just achieved before the Brazilian’s arrival at Old Trafford established that he was among the top players in the world.

The Manchester United team’s casemiro
United won the EFL Cup and finished third in the Premier League thanks in large part to the then-30-year-old, who was bought in a transaction for £70 million.

An outstanding start to life in Manchester was had by the number 18 during his first season, in which he made 51 appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils, scoring seven goals and providing six assists.

Manchester United’s pay for Casemiro
Although he became an integral part of the team in his first season, his most current campaign while wearing the Red Devil jersey hasn’t exactly been successful.

At the beginning of the season, Casemiro was the starting defensive midfielder. However, he hurt himself at the conclusion of the year and missed 17 games.

Casemiro, star of Manchester United
After his comeback, he didn’t live up to his prior performance, leaving United exposed owing to his lack of athleticism. Football writer Liam Canning went so far as to call him “embarrassing.”

I think it’s fair to say that his performances haven’t exactly lived up to his exorbitant wage, and he came under fire again at the season’s close, with Canning calling him a “joke” this time.

In the field of capology

As expected, the Brazil international earns £350,000 per week, or over £18.2 million each season (not including incentives), making him Manchester United’s top earner.

This implies that Casemiro’s salary is seven times greater than Garnacho’s, who has contributed far more to the team this season with 10 goals and five assists in fifty appearances, earning £50,000 per week.

Arsenal player Alejandro Garnacho
Not only that, but he is one of the biggest earners in the Premier League thanks to his absurd compensation; the only player with a higher salary is Kevin De Bruyne. Just so you know, that’s ten times more than Jarrad Branthwaite’s salary, which is an astounding £315,000 every week.

United have shown a lot of interest in the Everton defender recently, and they will likely keep that interest going into the summer transfer window.

United are reportedly planning to try to recoup roughly £30 million from the sale of the deteriorating midfielder this summer, which comes as no surprise given the above.

Man Utd’s Casemiro, Jonny Evans
His greatest footballing years are behind him, as shown by the fact that Saudi Arabian teams are interested rather than European ones. If United don’t release him this summer, he’ll earn an incredible £36 million in salary before his contract expires.

Thus, it is evident that Casemiro does not belong at Old Trafford, and Ratcliffe and company stand to gain financially from his departure, which might also pave the way for Branthwaite’s relocation.
