Manchester United confirm midfielder Casemiro will depart at season’s end, ending a three-and-a-half-year spell at Old Trafford after his 2022 move from Real Madrid.
LONDON: Manchester United have confirmed midfielder Casemiro will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.
The Brazil international joined from Real Madrid in 2022 for a reported fee of £70 million.
He has made 146 appearances for the club, scoring 21 goals.
“A serial winner, we thank Case for his contributions in red so far and hope to finish his time at the club on a high together,” United said in a statement.
Casemiro said he would “carry Manchester United with me throughout my entire life”.
“It is not time to say goodbye — there are many more memories to create during the next four months,” the 33-year-old added.
The defensive midfielder won five Champions League titles during his decorated spell with Real Madrid.
He scored the opening goal in United’s 2023 League Cup final win against Newcastle.
On his personal Instagram, Casemiro stated he would be “forever” a Red Devil.

“Four months to give my all for this badge and for our goal.”
United are currently fifth in the Premier League table.
