The 30-year-old Brazilian has been struggling with a difficult life in the impoverished Sao Jose Dos Campos slum just outside of So Paulo.

His mother Maria, who was forced to work many jobs to make ends meet, his two younger brothers, and all three of them were left behind by their father.

As the oldest, Casemiro bravely assumed the man of the house role, which helped to mold him into the outstanding leader he is today.

In 2018, the midfielder claimed: “I wouldn’t have recognized him if I had met him today on the street. When I was five years old, he had a disagreement with my mother and gave the family to her I succeed.

I don’t hold a grudge against him, so I want to visit him. God desires that for me. I always let things unfold naturally because of this.

When he comes to the club’s opulent Carrington Center on Thursday for his first day of training, Manchester United’s $70 million acquisition is certain to reflect on his modest upbringing.

The midfielder was astounded to have his own bedroom, food, air conditioning, and TV for the first time when he was chosen for Sao Paulo’s U11 team.

Who knows what was going through his mind when he actually played with Sao Paolo at the Search Nike Cup friendly when he was 15 years old at the Theater of Dreams?

Casemiro never forgot his history and once broke down in tears in an interview in 2018 when he talked about how he couldn’t afford to buy a distinctive Brazilian yogurt drink when he was younger.

He sobbed as he continued, “I always waпted to drink these as a kid, but we never had the money. Even if it wasn’t expensive, it was only a few cents.

His Real Madrid colleagues advised him to become a top-notch coach after hangιng up his boots because they believed that those memories would only make him better.

Guillermo Raimundo, a Spanish football analyst, told The Sun: “He came from a disadvantaged upbringing and it enhanced his character. He is a leader because he is aware of his history. And he thinks about that constantly.

“Casemiro used to be a leader at Real, an authoritative figure to whom everyone looked up. For the young Brazilian athletes Vini Jr, Rodrigo, and Militao, he was like a father figure.

He needn’t be a captain to be a leader, you know. The same thing, in my opinion, will occur at Man United.

It is expected that the Brazilian midfielder would excel for the premier English squad. Journalists from Barcelona said Casemiro was “the bad guy in the movie, someone you want to be on your team but don’t want to go against him,” and that he was “known as a madman” in some regions of Spain.

Officials from the Premier League will probably be shocked, and he will research each referee’s background so he understands how to deal with them.

Casemiro is no stranger to a hard hιt, and in 48 games last season, he received 16 bookings.

After coming in 2013, he had nine outstanding years at the Bernabeu, most notably winning five Champions Leagues and three La Liga championships.

The Brazilian was well-liked at Los Blancos, especially by Toni Kroos and Luka Modric, who collaborated on a letter of farewell for him.

Casemiro and Real President Florentino Perez have developed a strong bond, and it is anticipated that he won’t take long to woo the Glazer hosts.

“He loves to learn the club’s philosophy,” Raimundo continued. In the same way that many people mistakenly believe he was born in Real Madrid, I predict that Man United will experience the same thing.

He will get along well with everyone in the club, which will aid in his ability to adjust. He gets along well with Florentino Perez, and I have no doubt that he will do the same with the directors. manager of Manchester United.”
