Manchester United's Brazilian pair Casemiro and Antony are determined to learn English as quickly as possible.

The pair have already endeared themselves to the United supporters and admit they are feeling the affection from within the club as well.

"Firstly, I'm really happy to be wearing such an important shirt and sharing the day to day in the dressing room with great players and other Brazilians as well," Antony told club media.

"I'm going to start studying English. I can understand things and will get there little by little.

"The most important thing now is being on the pitch and doing well."

Casemiro has also picked words and phrases up and has illustrated already that there is no language barrier when it comes to performing out on the pitch.

"With the basics, we can manage on the pitch," he said. "I think, in football, it's the ball. The ball does the talking. The most important thing is our team-mates and adapting here at the club.

"The club has been a great help, it's a really friendly place and they've taken a lot of care with us.

"That's the most important thing," added the midfielder. "We've felt at home from the very first day. As Antony said [about learning English], it's difficult, and we'll be studying, as learning the language is very important.

"The club, our team-mates and the coaching staff have always made us feel at home."
