Casemiro has revealed that seeing Carlo Ancelotti in tears almost made him pull out of joining Manchester United in 2022.

The Brazilian midfielder left Real Madrid after nine seasons for £60million on the back of winning five Champions League titles.

He was excited for the move but Casemiro says he had doubts about it after Ancelotti - the usually unflappable Senor managing Madrid with effortless serenity - was reduced to a blubbering wreck in his office. 

'I remember it was a Friday, and almost everything was done; the only thing that was missing was my signature, and I just had to do my medical. But it was already done,' Casemiro told El Chiringuito de Jugones.

'I went to talk to the Mister [Ancelotti] because I was supposed to train, but I couldn't train [because the transfer was imminent]. People knew the transfer was done, but I still had to be there.
