Casemiro is set to make his final Old Trafford appearance for Manchester United against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Brazilian midfielder has won over the fans with his impressive performances.

What happened?

On 30 December 2024, Casemiro's ineffective contribution to a dreadful team performance led to him being replaced after 64 minutes.

Why it matters for Casemiro

He didn't play again for a month and didn't start for nearly seven weeks, but has since turned his career around at Manchester United.

Casemiro was left out of the FA Cup final success in May 2024, but has since become a key player for the team.
He has started every major game United have played since 6 March 2025.

What comes next?

Casemiro is expected to be Carlo Ancelotti's captain at this summer's tournament, after his influence has noticeably increased this season.
He has been an absolute pleasure to work with, according to Michael Carrick.

The fans have taken to singing "One more year, one more year, Casemiro" when he scores, and he responded by kissing and pointing to the badge on his shirt.
It was a far cry from his early days at the club, when he was criticized by Jamie Carragher, who said he should "leave the football before the football leaves you".

Casemiro branded Carragher's comment "disrespectful" in an interview with Rio Ferdinand, but has since proved him wrong.
He has worked hard to change Ruben Amorim's mind, and it took three months of hard work to do so.

On 6 March 2025, Casemiro started the first leg of the Europa League last-16 draw with Real Sociedad, and has since become a key player for the team.
He will always have a special connection with Manchester United, according to Carrick.

Casemiro's mentality has brought him back into the Brazil squad, and he is set to make his final Old Trafford appearance on Sunday.
The fans will be sad to see him go, but he has left a lasting impression on the club.

The 34-year-old's career has been turned around, and he has proven himself to be a valuable player for Manchester United.
He will be remembered for his impressive performances, and his dedication to the team.
