Casemiro has admitted that he has been blown away by one of his Manchester United teammates, predicting the player can be one of the best in the world.

The Brazilian midfielder has been a revelation for Man United since his move from Real Madrid last summer.

He starred in his side's victory over Nottingham Forest, delivering a spectacular performance in the middle of the park.

The 30-year-old pulled the strings in the engine room of the pitch against Wolves last weekend, with Marcus Rashford coming off the bench to score the winner.

And he's showered the England international with special praise, claiming he can become 'one of the top five players in the world'.

Speaking to ESPN Brazil, he said: "I’m going to be very honest with you; I was really surprised with the player Rashford is.

"In my opinion, especially knowing the player off the pitch, I can tell you that if he’s doing well, he can be one of the top five players in the world.

"He has an incredible way of hitting the ball, he’s got strength, he’s quick, is very clever playing.

"He was one of the players that really surprised me. Of course, when you play in a different league you already know the player, but when you’re in the same club every day..."

Casemiro added: "What a spectacular player. I’m enjoying so much playing with him. He gives us a lot of energy.

"I’m delighted to play with him and I’m sure if he stays like this, with the conditions he has, he can easily be a top-five player because he’s exceptional."

Rashford has been in sensational form this season, having scored 11 goals in all competition for his boyhood club.

He also enjoyed a superb World Cup, bagging three goals in Qatar.

The 25-year-old seems to be back to his best following a miserable campaign last season.

He scored just five goals in the 2021/22 term. He's already doubled his goal tally from last season and is on course to have one of his best seasons of his career.
