CASEMIRO CONFIRMS MANCHESTER UNITED EXIT AS A FREE AGENT THIS SUMMER

Manchester United confirms Casemiro will depart as a free agent this summer, ending a four-year stay at Old Trafford.

Casemiro confirms Manchester United exit as a free agent this summer
"I will carry United with me forever"—Casemiro's emotional exit statement

Manchester United just announced that Casemiro will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season. He joined Real Madrid in 2022 for £60 million and racked up almost 150 appearances since then. But United decided not to extend his massive £350,000-a-week deal past this summer.

Speaking to the club’s own media, Casemiro got a bit emotional. He said he’ll carry Manchester United with him for the rest of his life. Right from his first walk onto the Old Trafford pitch, he felt the energy and the love from the fans. That connection stuck with him.

He doesn’t see this as a final farewell, though. With four months left, he’s focused on creating more memories. There’s still plenty to fight for, and he’s not backing down. His words made it clear—he’s giving everything for United until the very end.

It’s not just about him, either. His whole family feels the bond with the club. Casemiro says he’ll always be a United fan, and so will they. In his words, “In England, I am red; I am Manchester United until death.” For him, this isn’t goodbye. It’s just the end of a chapter—United will always be part of him.

He wrapped up by thanking everyone, especially the fans. The song they sing for him? He says he’ll never forget it.

This news drops just as INEOS is gearing up to shake up United’s midfield, aiming to bring in two top players this summer. They’re looking at Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, Carlos Baleba from Brighton, and Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace.

Casemiro’s time at United has been a bit of a roller coaster. He scored 21 goals in 146 games, including a huge one in the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle in 2023. He’s stayed in the lineup this season, even with questions swirling about his form under Erik ten Hag.

Benjamin Sesko’s magic flick earns Manchester United a dramatic point

Manchester United left it late, grabbing a dramatic draw against West Ham at the London Stadium. Tomas Soucek seemed to have won it for the Hammers with his second-half goal, but Benjamin Sesko popped up in stoppage time with a clever finish to snatch a point for United, who’ve been on a good run. The first half really dragged. United couldn’t break West Ham down at all. Everyone in a claret shirt just sat deep. Luke Shaw came closest, but Aaron Wan-Bissaka cleared his shot off the line.

After the break, things actually got interesting. Four minutes in, Soucek bundled one in from close range. Casemiro thought he’d levelled things up after an hour, but VAR ruled his header out for offside. Both teams had chances as the clock ran down, but it was Sesko who finally found the net deep into stoppage time, saving United right at the end.

Man United player ratings vs West Ham

Senne Lammens – 6

Came up big early to deny Summerville from a distance. No chance with Soucek’s goal.

Diogo Dalot – 4

Had a tough time with Summerville’s pace and kept giving the ball away. Picked up a needless yellow.

Lisandro Martínez – 6

Easily the most composed passer at the back, breaking lines a few times. Solid defensively for the most part.

Luke Shaw – 5

Almost scored in the first half, but his shot was cleared off the line. Then stepped out of position before Soucek’s goal, which cost United.

Casemiro – 7

Pretty solid in midfield—broke up play and timed his tackles well. Scored with a header, but it didn’t count.

Kobbie Mainoo – 6

Kept things ticking in the middle but couldn’t really hurt West Ham. Lost Soucek for the goal.

Amad – 5

Had a decent look before halftime but hit the side netting. Didn’t offer his usual spark.

Matheus Cunha – 4

Barely got involved. Dropped deep to get on the ball but didn’t do anything with it.

Bryan Mbeumo – 5

Ran hard, tracked back, and helped defensively, but didn’t threaten much in attack.

Joshua Zirkzee – 6

Came on for Maguire for the last 20 minutes and made a couple of crucial blocks as West Ham pressed for another.

Benjamin Sesko – 7

Subbed in for Cunha in the second half and poked home in stoppage time to grab United a point.

DISCOVER WHICH MANCHESTER UNITED STARS WILL MISS THE WEST HAM CLASH

Michael Carrick confirms Mason Mount and Matthijs de Ligt will miss Manchester United’s clash with West Ham as the win streak nears 5.

Michael Carrick Confirms Mason Mount Out For Manchester United vs West Ham

Here’s the latest on Man United’s injury list and who’s likely to return when they take on West Ham.

Man United head to the London Stadium on Tuesday night without three key players. All of them are still recovering. Michael Carrick, who’s already chalked up four straight wins since taking over, is aiming to stretch that run to five. United are right in the mix for a Champions League spot now, just three points off third-placed Aston Villa.

They’ll want to keep racking up points, but after the West Ham game, there’s nearly a two-week gap before they play Everton. That’s not enough time for any of the injured guys to make it back for West Ham, though Carrick’s hoping at least one of them will be ready for the Everton trip later this month.

So, who’s out? The same trio that missed the weekend win over the Spurs. None of them will feature in East London. De Ligt hasn’t played since beating Crystal Palace at the end of November. Carrick says it’s still too soon to predict exactly when he’ll be fit again.

Dorgu is dealing with a hamstring injury from the Arsenal match last month. He’ll be out for about two months and probably won’t return until after the March international break. Mount has already missed the last two games after picking up a small knock in training. He won’t make it in time for West Ham, but Carrick expects him back to face Everton.

“Mason probably won’t be ready for Tuesday, probably after, but definitely by the Everton game, he’ll be back,” Carrick told reporters before the match. “Matta, we’ll see how he gets on… the Everton game still feels a way off, so we’ll just have to watch his progress. He’s doing well, heading in the right direction, but Mason’s a bit closer.”
