Manchester United defender Casemiro had been linked with a move away from the club this winter. As per reports, he was set to join former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr during this transfer window.

However, clearing all doubts, the Brazil football team defender recently iterated how happy he is at Manchester United. As per his words from the interview with MBC, Casemiro has no intentions of leaving Man United.

In a recent interview with MBC, Casemiro said, “It's all amazing, since the first day, I was made to feel very welcome by the club, the players and the fans. I received so much love - on and off the pitch.”

“It was a unique and magical experience, and I needed such an experience. I am so happy in Manchester with everything the city and the club offer me. I am happy with that and with helping the club improve and get back to the path of achievements.”

His next words cleared all rumours - “So yeah, I'm happy to play for Manchester United.” The Brazilian who joined Man United at the start of the 2022-23 season from Real Madrid, impressed everyone from the very beginning.

However, with time, he started missing games with injuries and serving out suspensions. As he came back to the first team, his performance declined. Casemiro hasn't played a Premier League game since early October.

There were several rumours regarding the defender leaving Man United this transfer window to join his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. The two shared a special bond when they played together at Real Madrid from 2013 to 2018.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr back in January last year. There have been a huge number of players that soon followed him to the Saudi Pro League. Casemiro was also set to join him, but it seems, as of now, he is content in England at Manchester United.
