Casemiro was pleasantly surprised when meeting Manchester United coach Eric Ramsay for the first time at Carrington last year. That's because although Casemiro was unable to speak English, he was greeted by Ramsay, who speaks fluent Spanish.
It's unusual for British coaches to fluently speak another language, but there is a feeling among those who have spent time with Ramsay on his journey to becoming an integral part of Erik ten Hag's coaching staff, that he is not an ordinary coach.
Ramsay was born in Oswestry, a small town close to the Welsh border, and he spent his formative years growing up in Llanfyllin, Wales, but it didn't take long for his attention to turn to coaching due to a professional playing career being deemed unlikely.
