**18 Premier League Players and Managers Set the Record Straight on Their Names**

Multiple Premier League players have partnered with TNT Sports to clarify the correct pronunciation of their names, putting an end to fans’ confusion.

A recent video published by the broadcaster features 15 players and three managers reading out their own names, including Manchester United’s Joshua Zirkzee, Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori, and Chelsea summer signings Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo.

New Liverpool boss Arne Slot, Sean Dyche, and Nuno Espirito Santo also made an appearance, along with stars like Erling Haaland, Bruno Fernandes, Tomas Soucek, Wout Faes, Vladimir Coufal, Iliman Ndiaye, Niclas Fullkrug, Ben Brereton Diaz, Yukinari Sugawara, Tim Iroegbunam, and Stephy Mavididi.

The video quickly went viral, with many fans expressing shock and some confusion at the pronunciations given.

Multiple fans even accused Haaland of pronouncing his own name incorrectly, with one tweeting: “I’m Norwegian and I have no idea what Haaland tried to do there. None of his 3 names are pronounced like that. It’s not even remotely close.”

Man City striker Erling Haaland took part too

Additionally, some fans expressed their surprise at how Everton boss Dyche said his name.

One Watford supporter commented: “I’m sure Sean Dyche was included for #bantz but it turns out I’ve been pronouncing his name wrong since he played for us 20 years ago. Every day is a school day!”

Another Watford fan replied: “I learned it about 5 years ago or so, but yeah was [in the] same boat! Thought it was Die-sh, not Die-ch.”

A third fan reacted with four laughing emojis alongside the message: “Who knew that Sean Dyche is the one that I have been mispronouncing!”

The name of Portuguese Man United playmaker Fernandes was also the subject of multiple comments.

Despite widely being pronounced ‘Fer-nan-des’ by many fans and commentators, the United captain explained – and not for the first time – that it is more like ‘Fer-nanj’.

One fan reacted by tweeting: “Still refuse to pronounce Bruno’s name the way he says it. I’m stuck in my ways.”
