Atalanta midfielder Ederson admits one of his hopes is to meet Manchester United ace Casemiro.

Ederson admits his fellow Brazilian is a hero of his.

He said, "Among the many players I have admired and followed, my idol is Casemiro. He has been playing at the top for a very long time. First at Real Madrid and now at Manchester United.

"The best Brazilian midfielder in recent years? Without a doubt. He's been around for a long time, I'd like to ask him how he managed to stay at the top of such important teams all this time. Impressive.

"When he arrived in the Premier League he immediately played very well, as if he had been in England for a very long time. I would love to swap shirts with him, it would be a dream."
