Manchester United have confirmed this season will be Casemiro\u2019s last at the club, with the Brazilian set to depart when his contract expires in June. The club has announced a special farewell for the midfielder at the final home game of the season against Nottingham Forest on May 17.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will carry Manchester United with me throughout my entire life,\u201d he told the club\u2019s official website .<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Casemiro\u2019s time at Manchester United has been marked by major highs and notable lows. A five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, he will leave United holding Carabao Cup and FA Cup medals from 2022\u201323 and 2023\u201324 respectively. One of his most memorable contributions arrived at Wembley, when his goal in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle helped secure the club\u2019s first trophy in six years.<\/p>\n
There were difficult periods as well, including a dip in form in his second season and a difficult match away at Crystal Palace that prompted Jamie Carragher to say: \u201cLeave the football before it leaves you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Casemiro started fewer than half of the club\u2019s Premier League games last season before returning to the starting line-up in 2025\u201326. His contract reportedly contains a clause that would extend his deal by a year if he reaches 35 starts. That total remains reachable only if he features in all 16 remaining Premier League fixtures under interim manager Michael Carrick, but it appears an agreement has been reached to part ways regardless of how the run-in unfolds.<\/p>\n
A stay in Europe is not seen as the most likely outcome. While there was past interest from Saudi Arabia, it was reported in December that a move to Major League Soccer is a very plausible option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
