Manchester United has officially announced that midfielder Casemiro will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 33-year-old Brazilian joined United from Real Madrid in 2022 for £70 million, and since then, he has made 146 appearances for the team.
During his time at Manchester United, Casemiro has played an essential role in the squad, including scoring the opening goal in the 2023 Carabao Cup final, which helped secure victory against Newcastle. His contributions were pivotal in the team’s solid third-place finish in his first season with the club.
However, uncertainty arose about his future following remarks from new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who suggested that some players were “not good enough” and “overpaid.” Despite this, Casemiro has expressed a strong bond with Manchester United, declaring, “I will carry Manchester United with me throughout my entire life.” He reassured fans that he is not ready to say goodbye just yet, as he looks forward to making more memories in the months ahead. “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,” he stated.
As Manchester United continues to strive for success this season, Casemiro remains committed to making a positive impact on the team. His dedication and passion for the club highlight a hopeful outlook as they approach the remainder of the season.
