Manchester United have announced that this season will be Casemiro’s last at the club, with the Brazilian to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires in June.

The timing comes as a shock, given that four months of 2025–26 still remain, although it serves to put to bed an issue that had been bubbling away with uncertainty for a while already.

United have confirmed there will be a special farewell to Casemiro at the final home game of the season against Nottingham Forest on May 17.

“I will carry Manchester United with me throughout my entire life,” he told the club’s official website.

“From the first day that I walked out at this beautiful stadium, I felt the passion of Old Trafford and the love that I now share with our supporters for this special club.

“It is not time to say goodbye; there are many more memories to create during the next four months. We still have a lot to fight for together; my complete focus will, as always, remain on giving my everything to help our club to succeed.”
