Manchester United finally signs Casemiro
Subject to UK visa procedures, Casemiro has finalized his transfer from Real Madrid to Manchester United. The midfielder has committed to a deal that runs through June 2026 with a one-year extension option.
The international from Brazil has taken part in almost 550 professional matches, including 63 for his nation. In his stellar career, he has amassed 22 significant victories, including five Champions League crowns and the Copa America.
Casemiro said: “The opportunity to start a new challenge at Manchester United and in the Premier League is extremely exciting.
“I have worked with many great managers in my career and, having met with Erik and heard his ideas, I can’t wait to work closely with him, his staff and my new team-mates in the coming years.
“I’m ending one beautiful journey in Madrid whilst starting another in Manchester as determined as ever to win football matches, win trophies and make our fans proud by bringing success to this great club.
“Everybody knows the history of Manchester United, the significance of the club around the world and what it means to its supporters. To represent United is an honour and I am ready to give everything to help the team achieve our ambitions.”
John Murtough, Manchester United football director, said: “Casemiro is a serial winner and one of the best midfielders in world football; his exceptional record speaks for itself.
“He compliments the skillsets of the squad and will be a great addition to the dressing room with his experience, knowledge and character.
“I know that Casemiro remains as determined as ever to be successful on the pitch and we look forward seeing that happen in a Manchester United shirt.”
