🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Casemiro Set to Lead Manchester United’s 2026 Exodus.
Manchester United are preparing for one of the most high-profile squad shake-ups in recent memory, with Brazilian midfielder Casemiro set to headline the departures next summer. The 32-year-old’s contract expires at the end of the 2025/26 campaign, and sources close to the club have confirmed that his deal will not be renewed.
Signed from Real Madrid in 2022, Casemiro brought instant steel and leadership to United’s midfield, playing a vital role in helping the Red Devils secure the 2023 Carabao Cup, their first trophy in six years. However, injuries, age, and the emergence of younger talents have gradually reduced his influence on the pitch. By the summer of 2026, United’s hierarchy is expected to part ways with him in a bid to lower the squad’s wage bill and accelerate their rebuild under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s vision.
Casemiro’s exit is not expected to be the only one. Insiders suggest that United are bracing for a sweeping exodus—the biggest since 2022, when the likes of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata, and Nemanja Matić all departed in a single summer. This time, alongside Casemiro, the futures of several senior players including Raphaël Varane and Christian Eriksen also remain uncertain.
For Casemiro, offers are likely to come from Saudi Arabia, MLS, or Brazil, where his reputation as one of the finest defensive midfielders of his generation remains intact. While United fans will feel a sense of nostalgia watching him depart, many recognize that his wages and declining physical presence make the decision a necessary one.
The club’s focus is now firmly on building a younger, faster, and more dynamic squad, and Casemiro’s departure marks the symbolic beginning of a new era at Old Trafford.
