Manchester United figure officially leaves club after five years

Manchester United have lost another familiar figure after five years at the club, continuing a period of significant departures from Old Trafford.

United supporters have already witnessed several emotional farewells, with Casemiro’s departure at the end of the 2025/26 campaign among the most significant.

The Brazilian arrived from Real Madrid in 2022 and immediately transformed Erik ten Hag’s midfield.

His aggression, leadership and ability to protect the defence helped United win the Carabao Cup in 2023.

Casemiro even scored the opening goal against Newcastle United at Wembley, providing one of the defining moments of his four-year spell.

His departure closed another chapter for a squad that has undergone considerable change.

Scott McTominay’s exit in 2024 was particularly painful for supporters who had watched him develop through the academy.

The Scot subsequently became a Serie A champion with Napoli, underlining the quality United had lost.

David de Gea’s departure in 2023 also ended a remarkable 12-year association with the club.

Now, another individual who spent years representing Manchester United has confirmed his own departure.
