Casemiro is leaving Manchester United. After four years at Old Trafford, the Brazilian midfielder confirmed he will not be returning once his contract expires this summer, and both he and his wife Anna Mariana Casemiro took to Instagram to share their emotions about closing this particular chapter.

The Instagram goodbyes

Anna Mariana Casemiro posted on Instagram following her husband’s final home appearance at Old Trafford in May 2026. Her message was direct: she expressed sadness about leaving and gratitude toward the fans who supported the family throughout their time in Manchester.

She also revealed that she cried during the match when fans chanted for Casemiro to stay another year.

Casemiro himself struck a similar tone, making clear this was the right moment to move on.

“I’ll be a Red Devil for all my life.”

Those campaigns, it turns out, were always going to be unsuccessful. No contract extension was offered, despite an upturn in Casemiro’s form toward the end of his time at the club.

From galactico arrival to emotional exit

Casemiro’s move from Real Madrid to Manchester United in August 2022 brought a player who had won multiple Champions League titles to Old Trafford.

The 2023/24 season was not his finest. Casemiro looked a step slower, and the whispers about whether he was past his best got louder. His improved performances in the latter stages of his tenure were significant enough that a vocal section of the fanbase genuinely wanted him to stay.

What comes next

With his contract set to expire in the summer of 2026, Casemiro is expected to sign with Inter Miami in MLS. For Casemiro, who will be 34 by the time he arrives in South Florida, the move offers a chance to extend his career in a growing league.
