Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has been praised by fans for his humble attitude after a heartwarming conversation with St Pauli and Australia international Jackson Irvine.
The two midfielders met at February's FIFPRO World 11 event where Casemiro was named in the men's world XI team. Backstage at the ceremony, the United man posed for a photo with Irvine.
After the picture was taken, Casemiro asked Irvine if he played for Australia which the 30-year-old confirmed. Before leaving the room, the Brazilian smiled and said: "I see you," before thanking Irvine for his time.

Once United's star man had departed, a delighted Irvine pretended to faint and was clearly taken aback by Casemiro recognising him. The former Hull City and Burton Albion man claimed that he was left sweating after meeting one of his idols.
