Casemiro's wife hits back at claims Man United star had five-year affair

Anna Mariana Casemiro has been in a relationship with the Red Devils star since his breakthrough at Sao Paulo in 2011.

The pair can be regularly seen enjoying their new life in Manchester, after Casemiro joined the Premier League in a £70million deal from Real Madrid last summer.

However, Brazilian outlet Leo Dias alleged Casemiro had previously been unfaithful to his wife, who he has two children with.

In a shock allegation, the report claims he had an affair with a Barcelona-based model and former Lindt chocolate assistant for five years.

The outlet claims, while they have not spoken since 2022, Casemiro even tried to persuade her to quit her job.

His wife, Anna, has since hit out at the rumours and defended her partner in a post on Instagram.

She wrote: "Oh man, really? Best to investigate your sources first, I just look around and know it's not him."

Casemiro married his wife in 2014 and have a seven-year-old daughter Sara, and two-year-old son, Caio, together.

The midfielder is yet to comment on the speculation, and is still recovering from his side's 2-1 FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City on Saturday.
