Man Utd midfielder Mainoo: I learn daily from Casemiro

Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo has lavished praise on Casemiro.

The youngster is enjoying the season of his life, as he becomes a United and England regular.

However, Mainoo knows that he still has so much to learn about the game as a teenager.

"I think just to scan even more because I feel like he sees things before everyone else does," said Mainoo, answering a fan question.

"And, playing with him [Casemiro], sometimes he might give you the ball and you're not expecting it.

"So I think it's having to just be knowing what he's thinking and always scanning so, whatever he thinks is happening next, I can try to be as quick and to be clued up as to what he's thinking to do next. So I can try to get in the right positions and stuff and be around him.

"I mean, in training, you can see it a lot in the way he moves the ball so quickly and the way he sees these passes that not many other people see. So I try to watch him closely and see when he's looking, when he's scanning and when he's looking and what he's seeing, and try to pick that up in my game so I can be effective as well."
