Manchester United supporters have spammed the club's announcement that they have agreed to sign Casemiro.

The Brazilian midfielder is expected to complete his move to Old Trafford in the coming days after United agreed a fee with Real Madrid to sign the 30-year-old. However, the club's fans remain committed in their opposition to the Glazer family and their ownership of United despite adding a new player to the squad.

Supporters are already planning to boycott Monday night's home match against Liverpool in the Premier League in protest against how the club has been run since the Glazers bought the club.

Ahead of that match, United announced their agreement for the signing of Casemiro in a statement which read: "Manchester United is delighted to announce that the club has reached an agreement with Real Madrid for the transfer of Casemiro.

"The transfer is subject to the agreement of personal terms, UK visa requirements and a medical. Casemiro has played over 500 professional games, including 63 at international level for his native Brazil.

"He has won 17 major honours in his illustrious career including five Champions League titles and the Copa America. We all look forward to welcoming Casemiro to Old Trafford."

However, the comments section of the tweet was soon filled with anti-Glazer messages from fans, with one writing: "GET OUT OF OUR CLUB!"

Where will Manchester United finish in the Premier League this season? Let us know in the comments section below.

Another added: "Welcome, Casemiro! But the message is still clear on Monday." A third also wrote: "This changes NOTHING! #GlazersOut #GlazersSellManUtd #EmptyOldTrafford"

One more supporter commented: "Thanks for the goodbye gift. Don’t let this distract you #GlazersOut” Another posted: “Doesn’t change our stance #GlazersOut"

Casemiro will become Erik ten Hag's fourth signing of the summer once the final details of his transfer are ironed out and he has completed a medical.

He follows Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen through the door so far this summer, with just under two weeks remaining before the window closes.

Fans will hope that his arrival can help the club bounce back from back-to-back defeats to start the season against Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, which have left the Red Devils bottom of the Premier League.
