Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Real Madrid midfielder, Casemiro broke down in tears on Monday as he is set to fly to Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Brazil international will complete his \u00a359.5million switch from Real Madrid and is expected to be paraded in front of the Old Trafford fans before kick-off in Monday night\u2019s massive clash with Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Casemiro was given a chance to say goodbye at a press conference at Real\u2019s Valdebebas training complex on Monday, with president Florentino Perez, manager Ancelotti, and many of his teammates all in attendance.<\/p>\n

And before he had even started speaking, the Brazil international was wiping away tears with a tissue.<\/p>\n

Perez paid Casemiro a series of compliments in a heartfelt speech, describing the midfielder as one of Real\u2019s \u2018great leaders\u2019 in their five Champions League wins and a \u2018legend\u2019 of the club.<\/p>\n

When it came for the midfielder to speak, he broke down in tears, barely able to get his words out, before reaching for another tissue and finally composing himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning everyone. When I and my wife arrived here no one knew us. It was a new country and here we built our life and our family,\u201d began Casemiro.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember when I first received the Real Madrid call, I was so excited. When I left Brazil I knew I would have played at Castilla, I was very excited because I knew I would have learnt the values of this club.\u201d<\/p>\n
