In an unsurprising move, Brazilian midfielder Casemiro will leave Manchester United this summer, upon the expiry of his contract.

The 33-year-old has enjoyed four seasons at the club, playing 146 games and scoring 21 goals to date.

However, his departure would come as no surprise considering he’s no longer in his prime.

Casemiro was unveiled at Old Trafford in August 2022, and quickly became a fan favourite due to his combative nature and ability to score goals at crucial times.

The Brazil captain played a major role in helping United to win the 2023 Carabao Cup, scoring a header in a colossal performance against Newcastle United. He also won the Emirates FA Cup in 2024.

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

“From the first day that I walked out at this beautiful stadium, I felt the passion of Old Trafford and the love that I now share with our supporters for this special club. It is not time to say goodbye; there are many more memories to create during the next four months.

“We still have a lot to fight for together; my complete focus will, as always, remain on giving my everything to help our club to succeed.”
