Casemiro plays his last game for Manchester United at Old Trafford against Nottingham Forest, and will return a hero no matter what the future holds after turning his career around at the club.

They know it won't happen, but it won't stop Manchester United's fans belting out their ode to the Brazilian when he makes his final Old Trafford appearance for the club against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. It has been sung frequently at United games over the second half of the season, especially when Casemiro has scored, and most recently when he gave his side an early lead in a key Premier League game against Brentford last month.Squad Implications
The 34-year-old responded by kissing and pointing to the badge on his shirt. That was a day of infamy among the normally loyal and vociferous United fanbase as they turned on striker Joshua Zirkzee, when he was substituted in just the 33rd minute by Ruben Amorim during a particularly woeful home defeat by Newcastle. The unspoken reality of that day was that, while the reaction to Zirkzee's exit was bad, had Casemiro's number been held up, it would have been even worse, such was the veteran's ineffective contribution to a dreadful team performance. As it turned out, the midfielder was replaced after 64 minutes.World Cup Outlook
