Brazilian midfielder, Casemiro have been an integral part of Manchester United squad this season after joining the Red devils from Real Madrid in the summer for a fee of around £60 million.
The Brazil international has registered four goals and provided six assists so far this season, helping Manchester United reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.
However, while speaking with BBC’s Match of the Dayahead of his side Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace on Saturday, the Brazilian midfielder explained and reveals why the name ‘Casemiro’ wasn’t spelt correctly.
So the thing is, my name is Carlos Enrique Casimiro, with an ‘I’ there.
Casemiro said: “I remembered that I played a game for Sao Paulo and the club got my name wrong. They wrote it with an E.
I played really well in that game and I am a superstitious person, I just said to them just leave it like that, as things are going well. So the name struck, but my name is Carlos Enrique Casimiro. It was a name made in one game, the name stuck and I said: No need to change it, leave it as it is.”
