Casemiro will leave Manchester United when his contract expires in the summer after the club decided not to trigger a one-year extension.

United have chosen to part ways at this point to allow time to shape their summer transfer strategy. There is an eagerness to refresh the midfield as part of a squad overhaul, the ambition being to recruit younger players for the long term. Casemiro earns about £430,000 a week and his departure will help free up funds for signings.
