Casemiro confirms Manchester United leave this summer

Brazilian midfield general Casemiro has officially confirmed his departure from Manchester United this summer, bringing a decorated four-year tenure at Old Trafford to a close.

The 34-year-old veteran will become a free agent in June after the club reportedly decided not to trigger a one-year extension in his lucrative contract.

"My final games at Manchester United will be emotional," Casemiro admitted, as he focuses on securing a Champions League spot for the Red Devils, who currently sit third in the Premier League.

The former Real Madrid star has enjoyed a late-season resurgence under Michael Carrick, netting seven goals in 29 appearances despite early-season injury struggles.

Inter Miami has emerged as the frontrunner for his signature, with reports suggesting David Beckham’s side has already initiated talks to reunite Casemiro with former rival Lionel Messi.

While the "ambitious project" in South Florida is appealing, the midfield anchor is also weighing significant interest from the Saudi Pro League and top-tier European clubs.

His departure marks a significant shift in United’s strategy as the INEOS-led hierarchy looks to refresh the squad with younger talent and reduce a substantial wage bill.

United fans will have just seven more league matches to witness the five-time Champions League winner in red before he embarks on his next adventure.
