That dutch egghead ruined him in suicidal MF. I am glad he is having good send off.Proper WC player in his pomp. Would love to have last CL tour with us.
 
How are we going to replace his goals?

I'd give anything to turn back the clock so we could have him for longer
 
I know it won’t happen, but would love for him to stay a year. Sure there’s emotion in that want, but he’s playing his best football for us and is a menace at set pieces.

All these replacements barely meet a fraction of the aerial threat he has so someone else in the team were going to need to haul in a player who is as threatening.

Damn we’re going to miss his dome and passion.
 
It's infuriating we had 2 of the best midfielders in the world for 4 years and just refused to play to their strengths until the last 4 months.
 
It turned so toxic when it comes to Casemiro in 23/24 but terrible basketball tactics from ten Hag surely were large part of his poor performances. We'll forget that happened.

His aerial ability is fantastic. I remember in his first season for us when he scored some headers (final vs Newcastle comes to mind) and I was surprised with how dangerous he is in that aspect for someone not that tall (I know it doesn't have much to do with height necessarily). But this season he's been incredible with his headers.

Four games left which is a shame but we'll be glad we signed him though it looked like 60m 'down the drain' at some point. Both Casemiro and Varane are class players but also classy guys and you can't not love them given how well they speak about the club.
 
If he ends the season with double figures in the PL. :lol: what a mentalist player

Which is extremely possible as he has 4 games to score 1 goal to reach it, and he’s been scoring at a higher rate this year, especially on a per 90 basis

You could've put prime Casemiro in that team and it still would've been a shitshow.
 
Speaking post-match, the Brazilian opened up on his love for United.

'I spent most of my career in Spain playing for Real Madrid, where I won many trophies,' he said, as quoted by AS.

'But in just a few seasons at Manchester United, I've felt something different - something deep enough to make a grown man cry. Here, I truly feel at home.

'That connection with the fans, that sense of belonging
… it's powerful enough to move a grown man. And honestly, that's why I couldn't hold back my tears.'
 
You can’t coach what he has. It’s peak instinct. Because physically he shouldn’t be sharp enough to keep timing his tackles or tall enough to keep winning headers (on both ends).

The pragmatist in me is ok he’s leaving. Casa in the team probably demands a start or you get the rusty version of him (and he shows rust easily). We need the transition to happen sooner than later.

The romantic in me would love to see him here longer. When the vibes are good the stadium is alive. Only Bruno currently being out that energy from the crowd.

Why not offer him a player-coach role for next season?
 

Come on Anna, make him stay another year.

I'm still holding out that on the last day of the season we'll get this moment.

I now don’t want him to stay purely for non football reasons. If he stays another season and it all goes a bit tits up (which it could) he doesn’t get to walk away with this send off. I love it when a great of the game leaves here loving the club (more the fans than anything). Varane, Zlatan and Casemiro love the fans.
 
From his pov this is it. Hes high and he wants to end it there not when we become shit again
 
Not for me. Great guy, great on corners and when in posession. With a fast attack running at him he can no longer keep up and is easily by passed.
Time to replace with a younger athletic 6.

Casemiro made 11 tackles, won 16 duels and made 9 clearances - nobody had done this in 20 years of opta stats before yesterday, but yeah you’re right - he can no longer keep up.

Agree.
He's 34. He's benefitted massively this season from only playing once a week.

Sometimes it's better to leave people wanting more.

If we properly reinforce the midfield, I doubt he'd play more than once a week anyway if he did stay next season.

Obviously, his leaving probably goes a long way to supplementing those very midfield reinforcements. And like others have said, leaving on a high is always nice.

I do think he's great to have around the club though...

I don't think there's a single player who can replace what he offers. It's a two man job unless we unearth a worldie talent.

Even then, they wouldn't have his experience.
