It was half expected, but with Ruben Amorim, Casemiro has regained a key role at Manchester United. Now Amorim football is history, so is the Brazilian. In a few months.

Last week, The Athletic reported Casemiro, with 35 starting spots this season, will activate an automatic extension with Manchester United. Casemiro’s contract expires in the summer, but this could in theory change completely without the two parties going to the negotiating table. Then the Brazilian had to be selected for the starting eleven for all remaining games. Now it is reported that an extension will not be an issue anyway.

On Thursday afternoon, the confirmation came from Manchester United and Casemiro that the journey will end after the end of the season.

“I want to carry Manchester United with me for the rest of my life. From the first day I stepped out at this beautiful stadium, I felt the passion at Old Trafford and the love I now share with our fans for this special club,” Casemiro begins to the club’s website.

Before he promises, his focus is fully on the tasks that lie on the training field and the match arena until the last day of work.

“It’s not time to say goodbye – there are many more memories that will be created over the next four months. We still have a lot to fight for together. My full focus will, as always, be to give everything to help our club succeed,” Casemiro said.
