Casemiro has said there is “no chance” he will be staying at Manchester United<\/a>. Back in January, the Brazilian midfielder revealed he will leave Old Trafford at the end of the current campaign.<\/a><\/p>\n

He has since gone on to become a huge player for Michael Carrick<\/a>, contributing some huge goals and being the perfect midfield partner for the rejuvenated Kobbie Mainoo.<\/a> United fans have been singing “One more year, one more year, Casemiro,” throughout the campaign, which appeared to move the ex-Real Madrid ace’s wife<\/a> at the end of the victory over Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Matheus Cunha also recently gave some fans hope Casemiro may remain at the club<\/a>, by saying “you never know” while hinting he wants his teammate to stay. However, the midfield veteran confirmed himself he will walk out of Old Trafford<\/a> with his head held high at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ESPN<\/a>, when asked if he might now stay at the club, Casemiro replied: “I don’t think there’s a chance. There’s no chance. Mostly because of what I said, you know? Go out the big door.<\/p>\n

“I think it was four beautiful, wonderful years and I am eternally grateful not only to the club, but to the fans. But I think I have to leave in good terms, I have to go out on top.<\/p>\n

“I will be an eternal United fan here in England and I just have to thank all the love from the fans.”<\/p>\n

This will be a huge disappointment for Cunha especially, who recently said: “I play with him in the national team and I know how important he is. He’s an amazing guy. And yeah, to have this guy in the dressing room is a privilege.<\/p>\n

“We don’t know in the end how it is with his contract, and then of course we, everyone, hopes there’s a little bit more. Of course, I know it’s harder than we talked about, but yeah, in the end, you never know.”<\/p>\n

Carrick also told the United fan base to enjoy Casemiro’s performances and spirit as much as they can between now and the end of the campaign. The United interim boss said: “Case\u2019s had an influence within the group.<\/p>\n

“He’s got huge experience, he’s a big player, he’s achieved an awful lot in the game, and I have to say, since I’ve been here, he’s given everything that he could possibly give.<\/p>\n

“The situation’s probably helped that, knowing exactly where it’s at, there’s nothing to hide and he’s thrown himself right into it. It’s football, you know, it’s football. Some players have come and gone, players have come and left this football club over the years and you’ve got to evolve and you go with that.<\/p>\n

“That’s kind of the world we’re in, but he’s definitely given everything and I think it’s nice that he’s got that connection with the supporters and it comes from both ways because I know he’s an emotional guy and it means a lot to him.”<\/p>\n
