The former Real Madrid player Carlos Casemiro who now plays for Manchester United has revealed that his name has been misspelled his entire career.
In a shocking revelation, the Brazilian midfielder disclosed that the mistake came from Sao Paulo, his former club.
“So the thing is, my name is Carlos Henrique Casimiro, with an “I” there,” Casemiro said while speaking to Football Focus.
He added: “I remember 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 as I’m a superstitious person, I said to them, ‘Just leave it like that, as things are going well!”
The defensive midfielder who had put up an impressive performance for the Red Devils this season said he had not been able to change the name till date.
“The name has stuck, but my name is Carlos Henrique Casimiro. It was a mistake made in one game so I said: No need to change it, leave it as it is,” Casemiro said.
Since joining Manchester United, Casemiro had played 17 league matches, scored twice and assisted on three occasions.
