"Everyone wanted him to stay, he's a player [who is] really important for us. Even in the dressing room, every day, he has the experience that no one else has in the team. He won everything, so this helped us a lot in the games and even outside the pitch."
"I think it's when something's decided and in some ways the fact that it was decided makes things a little bit easier and everyone understands the situation really. I think the impact he's had has been terrific, certainly since I've been here and working with him and his influence within the team and big moments and goals."
Casemiro announced his intention to depart Manchester United at the end of the season, prompting fans to chant "one more year" after his goal in a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa. Defender Leny Yoro revealed that squad members unanimously wanted the 34-year-old midfielder to remain, citing his invaluable experience and championship pedigree. While United retains a contractual option to extend Casemiro's deal by one year, sources indicate a reversal is unlikely following the mutual agreement reached in January. Head coach Michael Carrick acknowledged the decision's finality while praising Casemiro's significant impact on the team's recent revival and his influence during crucial moments.
