Casemiro, who agreed with Carrick that his last appearance would be last weekend’s fixture, is reportedly on the verge of signing for Inter Miami as a free agent. 💬 “It was decided that last week would be his last game. “I think it went as well as we could have hoped. He’s been fantastic for us.” Michael has confirmed that @Casemiro is unavailable for Sunday, and has played his match for United ❤️ — Manchester United (@ManUtd) May 21, 2026
