‘I think he’s been BRILLIANT’: Paul Scholes praises Casemiro, says Manchester United midfielder is ‘as close to Roy Keane as you can get’ amid impressive debut season at Old Trafford

  • Casemiro has started up after signing for United from Real Madrid
  • Scholes is a big fan of the Brazilian and says he’s been ‘sensational’ so far.
  • The former United midfielder feels he has similar qualities to his former teammate Keane

Paul Scholes believes Casemiro is a carbon copy of former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, hailing the midfielder for a “brilliant” start at Old Trafford.

‘I’ve heard so many times, too, that’s [Casemiro] he’s probably the best holding midfielder too,” Scholes told United’s website. “I don’t see him as a holding midfielder. He is a Manchester United midfielder as he should be, he gets into everything. You see him on the field, you see him defending, you see him controlling the game at times.

It’s probably as close to Roy Keane as you’re going to get. I think he has been brilliant.
