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.
