Former Manchester United midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger admits he's a fan of Casemiro.

Casemiro has been one of the stand out players at the World Cup so far. The United man has played an instrumental role in Brazil's campaign as the Selecao reach the quarter-finals.

Schweinsteiger has waxed lyrical about the Brazilian, as the former United man told club media just how impressed he has been with the club's new signing so far.

He said: "He is one of the best, definitely in that position, at the moment. He sniffs the danger quite well. He is a good passer. He scored an amazing goal against Switzerland as well and he is a very important piece for the Brazilian national team.

“He is one of the leaders there, and you can see that, and you can feel that and, yeah, I hope he can bring the sharpness back on the United field as well. But he's doing a very good job at the World Cup, yes."
