Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on Manchester United and Brazil midfielder Casemiro.
Here are some of your comments:
Michael: Definitely keep him on to the end of his contract. It's not only the improvement on the pitch, it's having someone in the squad with a proven winning mentality and pedigree for the younger players to learn from.
Lucy: Letting an experienced player/leader/winner like Casemiro leave could prove detrimental in the long run. How many other United fans wanted Jonny Evans to stay when he was initially sold? How many were annoyed when Zlatan Ibrahimovic left? The kids need leaders, and it can't just be left to Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire.
Yusuf: To be honest, Casemiro had a good performance against City but I feel he still has a lot of improving to do and I don't think that one match is going to determine his future unless he shines like he did against City for the remainder of the games we have left.
Allan: He is obviously past the standard required by the Premier League and United should ship him out as soon as possible. We have too many passengers, including Hojlund and Mount. Bring in the juniors and give them a chance.
Christine: Casemiro is past it. He will have good games but most will be poor because he is not fast enough to compete during the season. Casemiro needs to leave - his time has come and gone and he does not fit Amorim's system. He needs to bow out with grace.

In September - towards the end of Erik ten Hag's reign - he was substituted at half-time of the 3-0 home loss to Liverpool and heavy criticism followed. The Brazil international's wife came to his defence and reminded people of his stellar, trophy-laden career.
However, despite an inauspicious start under Ruben Amorim, Casemiro has re-established himself in United's starting XI.
The 33-year-old played the full 90 minutes in the draw with Arsenal on 9 March and started both legs of the Europa League last-16 victory over Real Sociedad.
He started last week's defeat at Nottingham Forest and completed the full 90 minutes in Sunday's goalless Manchester derby.
Casemiro's 11 tackles against Manchester City
Against Manchester City, Casemiro made 11 tackles - the joint-most ever made by a United player in a Premier League match.
"Amid all the noise - on and off the pitch - around yesterday's Manchester derby, it was interesting to note Casemiro turned in another effective midfield display," BBC chief football news reporter Simon Stone wrote about his showing.
"Almost without anyone noticing, the former Real Madrid star has eased his way back into Amorim's team."
On Casemiro, Amorim said: "If you improve what we ask of them, they have the opportunity. If they play well, they continue to play.
"That was the situation for Casemiro. The credit is all [with] the player. He is our player and will continue to be our player."
Only Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot had more than Casemiro's 60 touches for United in the derby - with his touch map showing his impact all across the pitch.
Despite his age and decline in mobility, this is still a five-time Champions League winner with 75 appearances for Brazil. If Amorim can avoid him becoming isolated and exposed in midfield, then he can still perform impressively in the biggest of games.
Casemiro still has a year left on a massive contract and has already stated his intention to remain at United for another season.
United fans, have recent performances convinced you that that Casemiro should stay during a rebuild this summer?
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United supporters have been voicing their grievances after staging a sit-in protest against the Glazer Family, the increase in ticket prices and the announcement that 500 supporters behind the dugouts will be reallocated.
BBC Radio 5 Live's 606: Football Phone In spoke to some of the Manchester United fans, who said the club were showing "no regard for their long-term supporters" in their reallocation plans.
Rob said: "We got a generic email that said on one line at the bottom: 'You will be moved'. They couldn't care less about the supporters. They are killing the club.
"They said it is to improve the 'matchday experience' for supporters, which is nonsense. They aren't going to improve my experience because they are going to try to move me up into the gods.
"A lot of people sat around me are saying they are done. I'm one of those people. I won't be sitting anywhere else, I have made that decision. I'll go and support my local team, like Macclesfield or Altrincham."
Colin added: "My brother sits in there. He has been a season ticket holder for 40 years, he is 74 years old and had a stroke a couple of years ago. I've just had to leave him there in tears, which is really sad, as it is the one thing that gets him out of the house now.
"His season ticket is also going up £60 and he has been hassled three times about whether he is going to renew or not. They haven't even told him where he will be sitting yet, but they want to know if he is going to renew?
"We tried to chat to some of the directors but we were given short shrift from some of the sporting directors who were leaving the box. It is disgusting."
Finally, Steve said: "When I phoned the club to say that we should have been contacted about where we're going to be reallocated, they couldn't even confirm if the three of us in our family were going to be able to sit together.
"I sent an email to their generic address and, unsurprisingly, I've had no response. Unfortunately, this is all a sad indictment of how classless Manchester United has become over the past 12 months."
When United announced the price changes, chief executive Omar Berrada said the club "worked hard to come up with a pricing package that is fair and reasonable" and stated that the new changes were being made "to offset continued rises in operating costs".
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has also said that recent cost-cutting measures have been "necessary to put Manchester United back on to a stable footing".
Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Manchester United and Manchester City.
Here are some of your comments:
Peter: Pretty much as I expected - United playing on the counter and City trying to break down a low block. Neither team showed much passion, urgency or quality, so a draw was pretty much a fair result. Going into games for United I'm not thinking whether we can win it. I just wonder if we can score, which at the moment doesn't seem that likely no matter who the opponents are.
Gary: No drive, no inspiration, no clue what to do when they get to within 20 yards of the goal area. A very frustrating watch and to be honest a waste of my afternoon. Time to take a break for a couple of game while my temper calms down.
Mark: Not a derby game in the traditional sense, with a lack of intensity seriously missing from both teams. On a plus note, a great defensive display from us and we caused the most problems without really threatening to score. We need to try and get a creative midfielder to help Bruno Fernandes out and the goals will start to flow.
Yusuf: A very dull and dry performance from both Manchester teams. Our killer instinct to go out there and win games is not there and despite our chances we just couldn't finish them. One of the most dull derbies shows the struggle between the two Manchester sides. Ruben Amorim still needs time, but it seems nothing is changing for United as we start to close up this season.
Russell: It's getting better but we never look like scoring and that is the big, big problem. Hopefully the board will give Ruben the players he wants in the summer and is given carte blanche to offload the overwhelming mediocrity that exists in the current squad.
Paul: Overall, United were the better team with the better chances and deserved to nick the win. Our priority this summer is a striker who will score 20-plus goals a season and I think Dusan Vlahovic is the player United should be prioritizing for that role. I would also bring back Angel Gomes to play alongside Manuel Ugarte in midfield.
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana spoke to BBC Radio Manchester after Sundays Manchester Derby: "We have to take positives [from the match] as it is not an easy situation at the moment and we have to stick together.
"We know the priority at the moment and that is winning the Europa League.
"Winning the Europa League would not save the season but it would be something for us.
"Playing how we are playing I am very confident [about playing Lyon on Thursday]. It will not be easy - but we are going there to win."
Former Premier League striker Troy Deeney explains to Match of the Day 2 why Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho was the only "shining light" in the goalless derby on Sunday.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United's problems are huge.
It is difficult to imagine Ruben Amorim choosing many of the players available to him in an ideal squad.
But the fundamental point is a lack of goal threat.
United have failed to score in 11 of their 31 Premier League games this season. Aside from matches against the three teams destined to go down, they have scored two goals or more on six occasions, including when they lost at home to Nottingham Forest on 7 December.
"We had the same lack of goal [threat]," said Amorim, when asked about comparisons to last Tuesday's defeat by Forest at the City Ground.
United need to be significantly better at recruitment in the summer than they have been on the pitch this term.
Wing-backs, central defenders and central midfield are all areas of weakness, let alone up front, where Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee continue to toil for little reward. It is now a combined four goals in 48 appearances for the pair since the Europa League win over Viktoria Plzen on 12 December, when Hojlund scored twice.
On Sunday, Amorim talked about how he thinks things are going on the good days. That implied there have been other days when he has wondered if United are heading in the right direction.
"In the moment it's still really hard every day, but of course you can imagine that the next season is going to be so much different," he said. "That's why I'm always saying I'm in a rush. Everybody here is suffering a lot with all these changes. We have to show something in the next year, right away.
"In the good days you think like that, that it was important to come [here] in the middle of the season, to work with the players, to improve the players as soon as possible, to start the next season with the better idea of what we want."
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United fan group 'The 1958' staged a sit-in protest against the Glazer Family and the increase in ticket prices after Sunday's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Hundreds of fans remained seated as they believe the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe are pricing out long-term supporters with several changes to ticketing coming into play next season.
Season ticket prices will increase by about 5% for the third successive year next campaign as the club and there will be an introduction of a game categorisation model for non-season ticket holders.
In addition, United's 'senior' discount will now track the state pension age of 66, giving older fans 25% off. Some had previously received a 50% discount.
Fans behind the dugouts will also be relocated, allowing the club to convert those seats for hospitality and sell them at premium prices while the minimum usage requirement for season ticket holders increases from 15 to 16 of their 19 Premier League home games.

Listen back to the weekend's full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes speaking to Sky Sports: "I am happy with the performance but we need points. We played against a very good side but the game was there, we needed a killer instinct to get the goals. When you play against Manchester City, you know they will have a lot of the ball. The killer instinct was missing but we created a lot of chances.
"We have to carry on. Not just for the rest of the season but everything that comes after."
On his responsibility to be the difference: "We know that I will get more attention than others because I am the captain and I need to be at a level every time I go on the pitch. Effort will never be missing and that has to be my main thing to show to the other players."
On how far off Manchester United are: "It is not these games that will define that. Whenever we play big teams, we know the pressure and attention is there. If we want to be a big club like Manchester City and Liverpool, we have to do that consistently. If after today we relax and think that this is enough, we go back again. We have to do this consistently."
On what the derby was like to play in: "It can't be like it was in the past, a lot of things have changed, with VAR, everything. With VAR, you can't do that. We can't be as rough as we want in the duels."
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United manager Ruben Amorim has been speaking to Sky Sports following the game: "I think we had some chances to win the game. We tried to use the space in transitions, defending in a low block, but we had our chances.
"We had some moments with the ball and we pushed City into their half. So we were closer to a goal, but we can accept a draw. They had more possession but that is normal."
On what Manchester United still need to improve: "We have so many aspects to improve. Everywhere we need to improve in every aspect - our build up, transition and decisions in the final third.
"Every player can improve. They are here because they showed something at their other clubs, so they have the quality. We are still a team that plays on the transition, so we need to spend more time in final third to have more opportunities."
On what he needs to do to return the club to the top level: "I'm not naive or crazy, I can see the moment that we are in. I can look at the opponents and understand that there is a big gap. But, as a leader, I cannot say we are going to take all of the time to close the gap.
"Even if we bring in more players, we have to hurry and show urgency to do better because we don't have much time at a club like this. We are in a rush."
On whether the struggles of both teams affected the intensity of the game: "If you look at the moment of both teams, we are not fighting for titles and that changes the game completely.
"The feeling of winning and not being able to lose one point - that feeling is not here. As the coach, it is hard to say that. We need to fight for big things. If we do, then the feeling will be completely different."
Image source, Getty ImagesSince Ruben Amorim's first game in charge of Manchester United, only Leicester City (12) have failed to score in more Premier League games than the Red Devils (8).
Casemiro made 11 tackles against Manchester City, the most by a Manchester United player in a single Premier League game since Patrice Evra against Portsmouth in August 2008 (also 11).
This was just the third Manchester derby to finish 0-0 since the start of 2016-17 across all competitions.
