Man United fans have been reacting to the news that Casemiro will leave the club at the end of the season.
The Red Devils are preparing for a very tough test against Arsenal this weekend, which could take them up into the top four if they can produce a win. Michael Carrick will want to rely on his experienced players against the league leaders, hoping for some leadership and patience at the Emirates.
One of those names is Casemiro, whose contract at United expires in the summer. He took to social media this week, announcing that he will be leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season, ending four years with the club. Man United fans reacted to the news on X…

Who will Man United replace Casemiro with?
The Red Devils want to sign a holding midfielder in the summer, and so they will likely spend big on Casemiro’s long-term replacement, with three names frequently mentioned.
Firstly, Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson is a target for United. He has become a regular starter in Thomas Tuchel’s England side, and is one of the best all-rounder midfielders in the Premier League.
Brighton’s Carlos Baleba is another option, as the Cameroon international was linked to United last summer, and the Red Devils continue to be interested in him, despite a drop off in form this season.
Finally, Adam Wharton at Crystal Palace is also a target, but seeing as Palace lost Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi this season, they could be reluctant to sell the 22-year-old in the summer.
