Casemiro shared a heartfelt moment with Manchester United fans in the aftermath of the Red Devils’ final Premier League match of the season against Aston Villa.
Ruben Amorim’s men finally returned to winning ways on Sunday after Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 2-0 in the Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
United fell short of the Europa League trophy last Wednesday after Tottenham picked up a 1-0 win in the 2025 final at the San Mames Stadium in Bilbao.
Following United’s defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League in Spain, the Red Devils managed to bounce back with their performance on the weekend.
Villa reached half-time with a 0-0 scoreline on the board, but Unai Emery’s men were reduced to 10 men after Emiliano Martinez was sent off in first-half injury time.
United made the breakthrough against 10-man Villa deep into the second half after Amad Diallo netted the opener for Ruben Amorim’s side at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils ensured all three Premier League points on Sunday after Christian Eriksen came off the bench and the Danish midfielder converted from the spot-kick.
The Premier League result on the weekend allowed United to climb to 15th place in the table, with the Red Devils one point behind 14th-place West Ham.

What Casemiro did in front of the Man Utd fans at Old Trafford after the 2-0 Premier League win vs Aston Villa spoke volumes
Casemiro saw out the full 90 minutes of Manchester United’s last Premier League match of the 2024-25 season after disappointing in the 2025 Europa League final.
The 33-year-old Brazilian midfielder has seen a turnaround in form at Old Trafford in recent months and has impressed under United manager Ruben Amorim.
Casemiro played a key part in United’s run to the Europa League final and he scored twice and picked up three assists in 13 matches in the UEFA tournament.
The former Real Madrid star has made 42 appearances across all competitions in the season and Casemiro has re-established himself as a key United first-team player.
TNT Sports shared footage of Casemiro leaving the Old Trafford pitch with his family and the former Los Blancos midfielder showed his true class in front of United fans.
Casemiro could be seen tapping the Red Devils’ club crest in front of the United fans as a sign of respect before he went straight down the Old Trafford tunnel.
The former Real Madrid player took to social media after United’s 2-0 Premier League win over Villa and sent a touching message to Red Devils supporters.
“Thank you very much, Old Trafford,” Casemiro posted on Instagram.

Ruben Amorim speaks out on Man Utd and what needs to change after the Premier League win vs Aston Villa
Speaking after Sunday’s Premier League tie, United manager Amorim insisted that it was important for the Red Devils’ culture and standards to shift going forward.
“No, I think we did a lot of changes as a club in this maybe six months and we change maybe so many things that a normal club could do it in three years, a lot of people leaving,” he said at his post-match press conference, as per Manchester United’s official website.
“And in the day-by-day, the way we behave, who is in charge in Carrington, who decides things, I think we are changing that.
“That is really important. If you look in the past, I think that was a characteristic of this club, the culture, the standards were really high.”
United’s 15th-place finish in the table in the 2024-25 campaign is the Red Devils’ worst position at the end of any season in Premier League history.
