Casemiro

Casemiro will leave Manchester United as a free agent following the expiration of his contract, bringing to an end a four-year spell at the club, the club announced.

Analysis: Casemiro joined from Real Madrid in the summer of 2022 and went on to make 160 appearances, scoring 26 goals across all competitions. The Brazilian captain played a decisive role in United's 2023 Carabao Cup triumph, delivering a colossal performance against Newcastle United capped by a headed goal, before adding the FA Cup to his collection in 2024. His departure marks the end of an important chapter for one of the most experienced and decorated midfielders of his generation, and United wished him well for the next stage of his career.

Should anchor Brazil's midfield

Casemiro is expected to be one of Brazil's starting midfielders in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Analysis: The veteran midfielder bid farewell to Manchester United at the end of the 2025/26 season, and while it remains to be seen where he'll play in 2026/27, he should be one of the first names in Brazil's team sheet in every game. Casemiro is coming off one of his most successful seasons from a goalscoring perspective, as he netted nine goals and added two assists for the Red Devils in 34 EPL appearances. He's likely to start next to another EPL standout, Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes, in midfield for Carlo Ancelotti's men.
