Casemiro grew up idolising Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes.
The Brazilian midfielder has joined United from Real Madrid on a four-year deal.
And the five-time Champions League winner has taken inspiration from United legend Scholes.
"Well, there are many players... I think there are players that you remember in your life," the 30-year-old told MUTV.
"So, in terms of idols in this position my idol growing up was always [Zinedine] Zidane, [but] here at Manchester United it was always Paul Scholes."
He added on Scholes: "He's a player that was small but he got stuck in, he was a fighter, he gave everything on the pitch.
"His passing over 50 to 70 metres was incredible. Manchester United have always [had] good players in that position.
"[Michael] Carrick was also a great player so I think that Manchester United have always had good players in that position and in midfield.
"The little guy [Scholes] was very good and what I loved about him when he played was that he was small but he went in hard and fair."
