Casemiro is set to leave Manchester United at the end of the season when the contract ends. The midfielder arrived from Real Madrid before the 2022-23 campaign and lifted both the EFL Cup and FA Cup. Those
trophies marked major moments in Casemiro’s time at Old Trafford.
The departure comes with Casemiro offering thanks to the Manchester United support, stressing the impact on the family. "[The support] means so much, not just for me, but for all my family," said Casemiro. The message reflects how strongly Casemiro feels about the experience in Manchester.
Casemiro also shared an emotional public message to Manchester United followers as the news emerged, underlining lasting affection for the club and supporters.
I will always carry this club with me. I will always be a Manchester United fan. Once a Red, always a Red pic.twitter.com/tFfU823WKtManchester United (@ManUtd) January 22, 2026
On the pitch, Casemiro has been a regular choice in Premier League matches for Manchester United. Since arriving in Manchester, only Bruno Fernandes with 127 games and Diogo Dalot with 115 appearances have played more league fixtures than Casemiro, who has featured 97 times.
Casemiro has also contributed often in the attacking phase for Manchester United. The Brazil international has been directly involved in 16 goals, with 10 goals and six assists. That return stands as the joint-fifth highest tally for the club in that period, with four goals scored this season.
Alongside the impact with the ball, Casemiro has collected several cards in England. The midfielder has received 24 yellow cards and three red cards in domestic action. No Manchester United player has picked up more cards than Casemiro since the 2022-23 season began.
Manchester United are no longer in the chase for silverware this season, which places extra focus on league form. Casemiro will now concentrate on trying to guide Manchester United into the Champions League positions. That task will frame the final months of Casemiro’s spell at Old Trafford.
It is so special, and I will always carry this club with me for all my life. I will always be a Manchester United fan, my whole family too. In England, I am red, I am Manchester United until death. So all I want to say isthank you for everything. [On] my presentation, my first day, since I arrived at the airport, everybody, the fans have been very, very warm to me. Not just with me, but with my whole family. The day I first came into the stadium, the fans were already singing my name and my songs, and I am never going to forget this, of course. It isnt a goodbye, it is just a chapter in my life. I will always be with Manchester United. Thank you, thank you everyone that made this time in my life so special, especially the fans. I will never forget my song! Thank you very much.
Casemiro’s time at Manchester United therefore closes with major domestic trophies, consistent Premier League involvement and a strong disciplinary record in numbers. The midfielder’s words show how deeply Manchester United and the fans have influenced Casemiro and the family, even as the focus turns to a final push for Champions League football.
