Casemiro’s time at Manchester United is up in the summer and he has revealed his wife cried after supporters chanting his name at a recent game

Casemiro has admitted his wife cried when the Manchester United fans were asking for him to remain at Old Trafford for one more season. It comes after an agreement with United saw a clause in his contract cancelled.

The Brazilian, 34, is set to leave the Reds when his contract expires this summer. He joined United in a deal worth up to £70million from Real Madrid in 2022 and has spent the last four years in Manchester, making more than 150 appearances and winning two major trophies.

This season, Casemiro has been one of United’s most consistent performers. The ex-Porto man has missed just two matches for the Reds all season and has cemented a solid partnership with Kobbie Mainoo since Michael Carrick’s arrival in mid-January, as he tries to help the club seal a top-four finish.

And during United’s last home game, a 3-1 win against Aston Villa, supporters sang, ‘One more year, one more year Casemiro’ after he opened the scoring for the Reds. The midfielder powered home a header from a Bruno Fernandes corner and celebrated in front of the North West corner.

After that, Casemiro’s wife Anna Mariana cried. “Well, honestly I feel so happy, especially for the affection from the fans, and the respect they have for me,” Casemiro said.

“So, it’s just gratitude for this love, it is so exciting. I am hoping not to cry on my last day, as it is such a beautiful experience. My wife already cried, the other day, when the fans were asking for one more year.

“So, I just want to enjoy it, enjoy all the moments and I will be a United fan for the rest of my life.”

Casemiro had a clause in his United contract that would have led to a one-year extension if he started 35 Premier League fixtures in his final season at the club, a tally that he remains on course to reach.

But Casemiro and the club reached an agreement in January to waive the clause during talks to formally announce that he would be leaving United at the end of the 2025/26 season.

He was told by United officials earlier in the season that his contract wouldn’t be renewed, but in early 2026, he decided to make the news public, a request to which United agreed.

Casemiro has just seven more matches remaining in a United shirt, starting with a Premier League fixture against Leeds United on Monday, April 13.
