Manchester United settled for the Brazilian having failed on many attempts to secure the services of Frankie de Jong from Barcelona.
He moved to Old Trafford in a surprise £70 million (including add-ons) move from Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid ended the 2021-22 season having won the UEFA Champions League, La Liga and Supercopa de Espana.
Casemiro picked up his fifth Champions League winners’ medal after an impressive season where he played in 48 games across competitions.
The Brazilian was 30 years old when he left Los Blancos and hadn’t shown any signs of slowing down.
Casemiro told Brazilian sports magazine Placar, “It was the chance to leave a big club on top, at an age that still allows me to have that willpower.
“If it were three years from now, I wouldn’t leave for another big one, I wouldn’t have that ambition to change leagues and leverage another giant.”
