"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."
"His seven Premier League goals this season mark his best-ever return in a single campaign in Europe's big-five leagues, surpassing his six for Madrid in 2020-21. Six of his goals have come from non-penalty set-pieces, the most by a United player in a single top-flight campaign since Wayne Rooney in 2011-12."
"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."
Casemiro announced his intention to leave Manchester United at the end of the season after joining from Real Madrid in 2022. Despite this decision, the midfielder is enjoying a strong final campaign, scoring seven goals—his best return in a single season across Europe's top five leagues. His performance includes six goals from non-penalty set-pieces, the most by a United player in a Premier League season since Wayne Rooney in 2011-12. Teammate Leny Yoro revealed that players wanted Casemiro to remain, citing his invaluable experience and leadership. Although Casemiro's contract includes a one-year extension option, both he and the club mutually agreed not to activate it, with manager Michael Carrick indicating the decision is final.
