A leading media outlet has revealed the inside story behind Casemiro, the Brazilian defensive midfielder, parting ways with Manchester United after the 2025-26 season, citing three main factors.
On 23 Jan 2026 GMT+7, Laurie Whitwell, the reporter covering the "Red Devils" Manchester United, a prominent Premier League club, disclosed the behind-the-scenes reasons why experienced defensive midfielder Casemiro will leave Manchester United after the 2025-26 season, attributing it to three main factors.
Laurie Whitwell stated that the split between the Manchester-based red giants and Casemiro stems from his reluctance to accept a significant wage reduction from his current contract paying about £350,000 (approximately 14.7 million baht) per week. Secondly, he has substantial offers awaiting him elsewhere, and finally, he prefers to leave the team at this positive moment.
Casemiro transferred from the "Los Blancos" Real Madrid to Old Trafford in the summer of 2022 for a fee including options totaling £70 million (about 2.946 billion baht). He has played 146 matches, scored 21 goals, and provided 13 assists over 10,686 minutes on the pitch, playing a key role in helping the team win the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup once each.
