Manchester United midfielder becomes Marbella FC shareholder

Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has become a new shareholder at Marbella FC.

The Brazilian, who is set to leave Old Trafford this summer, has ties to Spanish football after an incredibly successful stint at Real Madrid.

A statement from Marbella FC said: “Marbella Football Club is pleased to announce that Carlos Henrique Casemiro, star of Manchester United, of the Brazilian national team and five-time winner of the Champions League, becomes a new shareholder of our entity from today. The enthusiasm and commitment that Casemiro shows with the Marbella FC project is evident with his incorporation into the club’s shareholding structure. Not only Marbella, but also the whole city, are proud that an athlete of his global dimension wants to belong to our family. The confirmation of Casemiro as a new member of the board of directors is a historic opportunity for the club to continue projecting its institutional and sporting strategy in elite football.”

With Casemiro linked with a summer move, the Spanish side have cheekily teased the Brazilian “joining” their club.

The Brazil international said: “It is an honour for me to join the Marbella Futbol Club because my greatest motivation is the spectacular growth possibilities of the club. I have been to Marbella with my family on several occasions and my children, my wife and I and I are in love with this city, with which we want to be linked for life. Without a doubt, together we will dream big to take Marbella to the top, but now we have to enjoy our wonderful promotion to Primera Foundation.”

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Casemiro as a player. He played as a centre-back towards the end of the season and struggled with his form as a result.
