Real Madrid legend Casemiro regrets leaving the club to join Manchester United.

That is according to Nacional, which reports that the Brazilian midfielder realises he made a big mistake leaving the Spanish giants for the struggling Premier League side.

Nacional reports that Casemiro regrets moving to England, and sees the Man Utd team as way off the level required to challenge the best domestically and in Europe.

He also is frustrated with how badly run the club is and is not enjoying life off the pitch, either.

Nacional further reports that Man Utd are also not happy with Casemiro’s performances and are already lining up replacements for 2024, with Benfica starlet Joao Neves a target.

The 31-year-old performed well for much of last season and he played a key role in them winning the Carabao Cup.

However, his form has fallen off badly this campaign for a Man Utd team that have had their worst start to a season for over 30 years.

Casemiro also struggled during the recent international break for Brazil.

Casemiro starting to show his age?

Casemiro was arguably Man Utd’s signature move of the summer of 2021, as they splashed out over €70 million for the legendary midfielder from Real Madrid.

Some critics questioned paying such a large sum of money for a player who was already 30.

While he did well in his first season, it is felt that Casemiro’s age may be starting to catch up with him now.

Casemiro is regarded as an all-time great at Real Madrid. He won everything in 10 years there after joining from Sao Paulo.

He claimed three La Liga titles, five Champions Leagues and made over 300 appearances.
