New Manchester United signing Casemiro says Paul Scholes was his Manchester United footballing idol growing up.
The 30-year-old admitted that he hugely admired the “incredible” Englishman’s attributes, explaining that he was blown away by the midfielder's skill on the pitch. He also namechecked Michael Carrick as another inspirational talent.
“I think there are players that you remember in your life,” he told in-house media. “So, in terms of idols in this position my idol growing up was always [Zinedine] Zidane, [but] here at Manchester United it was always Paul Scholes.”
