Overview
- Casemiro announced in January that he will leave Manchester United when his contract expires at the end of the season.
- Manchester United were reported to have a 12‑month extension option but chose not to activate it, a move framed as easing wage commitments.
- Noussair Mazraoui said learning of the departure was "a sad day" and praised Casemiro’s elite experience and winning mentality on and off the pitch.
- This season Casemiro has been a regular contributor, with six Premier League goals and only two league matches missed through suspension, helping United’s push to return to Europe.
- Signed from Real Madrid in 2022 for around £70m, he won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup with United, and Michael Carrick recently lauded his influence heading into the final months.
