Brazilian midfielder Casemiro will leave Manchester United at the end of the current season, when his contract ends in June, the Premier League club announced this Thursday (22).
The 33-year-old Brazilian arrived at Old Trafford from Real Madrid in 2022, played 146 matches and scored 21 goals.
“I will take Manchester United with me for the rest of my life,” said the player, who has already won five Champions League titles with Real Madrid.
“From the first day I stepped into this beautiful stadium, I felt the passion of Old Trafford and the love that I now want to share with the fans of this special club,” he continued in his message released by the club.
“It’s not time to say goodbye yet; we still have so many memories to create together over the next four months,” he added.
During his time at United, Casemiro helped the team win two titles: the English League Cup in 2023 and the FA Cup in 2024.
This season, Manchester United occupies fifth place in the table after 22 games, just one point behind Liverpool, fourth place and the last team currently in the Champions League qualifying zone.
On Sunday (25), Manchester United faces a difficult game away from home against Arsenal, the team in the best phase in Europe, leader of both the Premier League and the Champions League.
Casemiro is also expected to represent Brazil at the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, in June and July.
