EPL: Casemiro names favorite Man Utd legend
Manchester United midfielder Casemiro has named Paul Scholes as his favorite legendary figure at Old Trafford.
Casemiro completed a £70m move from Real Madrid this week.
In his first internal interview for United, the Brazilian midfielder spoke about his idols in the game.
Casemiro says Scholes challenged his short stature with an aggressive style of play that made him a nightmare for his opponents.
"So in terms of idols in this position [in midfield], my idol growing up was always [Zinedine] Zidane, [but] here at Manchester United it was always Paul Scholes," said Scholes told MUTV.
"The little guy [Scholes] was very good and what I liked about him when he played was that he was small but he went hard and fair."
