The goalkeeper, 29, has been blessed with success throughout his playing career, winning trophies with Man City, Benfica and the Brazil National team.

However, he believes this success is down to more than just the skill of himself, team-mates and coaches.

Instead, he puts it down to wearing the SAME PANTS across an entire season.

Speaking in an interview with TNT Sports via Record, Ederson revealed the peculiar quirk.

He said between laughing: “I have the superstition of wearing the same underwear in every game.

“It’s always the same! The people here at home even know, they already leave it stored in their corner – It’s one per season because it wears a lot.

“It’s the only one (superstition) I have. It’s been [with me] since the time of Benfica.

“The first year, it was like this: when I played, I used it.

“And in the last eight years I’ve won seven national titles. It has worked.”

Since arriving at Man City in 2017, Ederson has won the Golden Glove three times.

But it is his proficiency with sweeping behind his defence and the ball at his feet which set him apart from his colleagues.

A return of 11 clean sheets in the league this season was still solid, but it was some way off the 17 David de Gea collected for Manchester United.

And he will be hoping De Gea and Co do not have his pants down when the Red Devils face off against Man City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
