What is the story behind Casemiro's celebrations?

The Manchester United midfielder has found the net seven times in the Premier League this term and appears to be producing more and more elaborate responses to finding the net, much to the delight of the supporters.

There were certainly several on show when he headed home Bruno Fernandes's corner to open the scoring against Aston Villa, in our most recent outing at Old Trafford.

However, there is another member of Casemiro's family responsible for choosing the celebrations!

There were many questions sent in for the Brazil international, as part of our exclusive Q&A, which enquired about the celebrations and their meaning.

The fans are clearly aware of the 'six-seven' gesture, which became a craze among youngsters, based around a meme on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Another of the actions, moving his hands towards his nose, was maybe less obvious.

"Honestly, all my celebrations are thought of and decided by my son," stressed Casemiro. "He is football-mad and United-mad, he loves Manchester.

"Every day, when I leave the house, I ask him: ‘What celebration do I have to do?’

"So, the six-seven came from him. Also, this one [motioning towards his nose] is to show that I can smell the goal."

With Casemiro enjoying his most productive campaign in front of goal in a league season, let's hope for more celebrations before 2025/26 is out.

The 34-year-old is set to leave the club in the summer, so you sense there are big moments still to come before his contract expires at Old Trafford.
