£18m per year Man Utd star who regretted Old Trafford transfer set to leave

The “ideal” Manchester United player is expected to leave the club at the end of the current season, along with full-back Terrell Malcia, according to journalist Rudi Galetti.

Melcia is on his way to leaving Manchester United

The international break is currently hampering Premier League action, but soon, all eyes will be on United’s trip to Liverpool next Sunday afternoon.

Regarding the future of some players, it appears that Melsia will leave Old Trafford next summer, as stated by journalist Fabrizio Romano in recent days.

“Terrell Malasia, despite his return to training with the first team of Manchester United after a crazy period in which he had many opportunities, Terrell Malacia will not sign any new contract at Manchester United and, in any case, he will leave the club for sure, 100% in 2026.”

It seems like a good time for Malcia to move on, considering the Dutchman is a top left-back, and now another United exit rumor has emerged.

The ‘ideal’ Manchester United player is also expected to leave.

Speaking to X, Galletti claimed that Casemiro will leave Manchester United when the current season comes to an end, with his £18m-a-year contract expiring at that point.

This comes after previous reports went so far as to claim that the midfielder actually regrets joining Manchester United from Real Madrid in 2022.

Like Malacia, it makes sense for Casemiro to leave the Red Devils in 2026, considering he will be 34 years old by then and is clearly not the world-class force he used to be.

This is despite the midfielder being named Brazil captain by current coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has praised him recently.

“Casimiro is an exemplary player, respected by everyone. He has the experience and character to lead this team. For me, he can be the leader, but I don’t know if he agrees with that. He knows what the top level demands, he knows how to manage difficult moments and motivate his teammates. Being a leader is not just about wearing the armband, it means setting an example every day, on and off the field. Casemiro does it in a way natural.”

Casemiro is on huge wages, but arguably doesn’t justify them, given his age, and his exit will help pave the way for a younger defensive midfielder, whether it’s Carlos Baleba or someone else.

He has always given his all for United, but it makes sense for all parties that he would relish a new challenge, with a new deal certainly unthinkable for the Red Devils at this stage of his career.
