Manchester United veteran midfielder Casemiro has given a huge salute to his younger teammate.

The Brazilian had heaps of praise on offer for youngster Kobbie Mainoo this week.

The young Englishman has become a mainstay in the United midfield next to Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes.

“For those of us who work with him, it's been no surprise to see him scoring and playing really well in games," said the Brazilian to club media.

“I think we have a complete player in Kobbie – aggressive, looks after the ball, a player who wants the ball."

He then added: “I would say that if Kobbie continues the way he's going with this mentality, continues training hard and doing things right, Manchester United have a great player for the next 15 years."
