Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has heaped the highest of praise on midfielder Casemiro.
The ex-England international likened the Brazilian defensive midfielder to former captain Roy Keane.
Scholes spoke to the club website before United defeated Barcelona 2-1 in the Europa League round of 32 second leg, progressing to the last 16.
Casemiro has been sensational really," Scholes told United's website.
He has great experience, winning so many times with Real Madrid as well, and is invaluable to the younger players around the squad.
It's almost like he's a coach on the football pitch. You've seen the difference from when he's come into the team and what he's made [happen]. He has great experience and I don't think he gets the credit for the way he plays. He is a really good passer of the ball, which surprised me a little bit, when you think you saw Luka Modric and Toni Kroos as the playmakers at Real Madrid.
I've heard so many times, as well, that's [Casemiro] is probably the best holding midfielder as well. I don't see him as a holding midfielder. He's a proper Manchester United midfielder that gets involved in everything. You see him up the pitch, you see him defending, you see him controlling the game at times.
He's probably as close to Roy Keane as you're going to get. I think he's been brilliant.
I think "holding midfielder" just does him a little bit of an injustice."
