Incoming Casemiro pleads with Ronaldo not to leave Man Utd

The Real Madrid star has already landed in England to complete his move to the Premier League giants

Casemiro used his farewell press conference from Real Madrid on Monday to urge Cristiano Ronaldo not to leave Manchester United in the current transfer window.

Ronaldo handed in a transfer request at the start of the summer in search of Champions League football.

At a teary press conference where the Brazil midfielder said goodbye to the club where he won five Champions League titles, four of which were alongside Ronaldo, Casemiro pleaded with the 37-year-old to wait for him at Old Trafford and not move elsewhere. 

"I haven't talked to Cristiano," Casemiro admitted when broached on the topic. "I hope he stays because he's one of the best players in all the time. He's incredible.
