Casemiro’s ‘six-seven’ celebration has been etched in the back of United supporters now, which includes the Brazil international moving his hands towards his nose.
According to the five-time Champions League winner, the way that he has been celebrating at the Red Devils after he has scored has been influenced by his son.
“Honestly, all my celebrations are thought of and decided by my son,” he told Manchester United’s official website.
“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.”
