Hupu, October 9th: Manchester United midfielder Casemiro recently revealed in an interview that an unexpected spelling mistake made him known to the world as "Casemiro", which is not actually his real name.

Casimiro’s real name is Casimiro. He said that the mistake originated from a game when he played for Sao Paulo in his early years:

"It was the first game I played for the Sao Paulo first team. The jersey printing department spelled my last name as 'Casemiro', but I played very well in that game. I am a very superstitious person. I Tell the club: 'Don't change it, things are going well anyway. ' It was just a one-time mistake, but I will carry it with me for the rest of my life."

Since then, the spelling "Casemiro" has been used to this day, accompanying him through his glorious career from Sao Paulo to Real Madrid and then to Manchester United.
