Casemiro and Matheus Cunha spotted in Florida as Griezmann Orlando move emerges

The moment surfaced via social media through a post shared by Anna Mariana Casemiro.

The story showed Casemiro’s family alongside Matheus Cunha attending an Orlando Magic NBA game, placing the Manchester United-linked duo in Florida at the same time.

The sighting gained traction because it coincided with news of Antoine Griezmann’s move to Orlando City.
