“I want to make it clear that one day I would return to Real Madrid and show you how much I love this club. I want to help the club in any way I can in the future. Florentino, thanks to you this club will continue to win titles.”
Explaining his decision to leave the Champions League holders and head to the Premier League with struggling United, who are 19th in the table after two games, Casemiro said: “I am excited to develop at a big club like Manchester United.”
Perez made it clear he was happy for Casemiro to move on after eight seasons in the Spanish capital: “I’m very proud of you Case, you’re joining a legendary club, Man United – keep making history,” the Real supremo added.
While his move will not go through in time to make his debut against Liverpool, United could hand the Brazilian his first outing against Southampton on August 27 providing the final details – including a work permit and international clearance – go through in time.
