Man Utd's Mainoo reveals what he learnt from Casemiro

Manchester United starlet Kobbie Mainoo spoke in an interview with the club about his time at the club and praised his Brazilian teammate Casemiro, saying he is learning a lot of things from him.

“I think just to scan even more because I feel like he sees things before everyone else does. And, playing with him, sometimes he might give you the ball and you’re not expecting it," explained Kobbie.

"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," he added.

The 18-year-old midfielder confessed that he tries to watch Casemiro to incorporate what he learns from him into his game. "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,” concluded Mainoo.
