Overview
- Casemiro told Manchester United’s club media on Tuesday that he expects an emotional goodbye and thanked supporters after “one more year” chants that he said made his wife cry.
- United and the midfielder agreed in January to cancel a clause that would have added a year if he reached 35 Premier League starts, which let him keep starting without triggering a new deal.
- Since Michael Carrick took over as interim manager in mid-January, Casemiro has been a regular starter and has recorded seven Premier League goals in a resurgent season.
- He used the club Q&A to hail 20-year-old Kobbie Mainoo as “the present and the future,” calling him one of the best No. 8s and backing him to lead United for years.
- Transfer reports link him with Inter Miami and Al-Nassr, with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo seen as influences, but no agreement has been announced.
