Socceroos World Cup hero Jackson Irvine is left star-struck as Manchester United superstar Casemiro recognises him at an awards ceremony: 'You play for Australia, no?'

Socceroos midfielder Jackson Irvine was left starstruck after Manchester United ace Casemiro recognised him at a recent awards ceremony.

The Red Devils star and Irvine ran into each other backstage at the FIFPRO World 11 awards in Paris, where the Brazilian star was selected in the top 11 from a shortlist of 26 players.

The World 11, which is voted for by the players, takes into account performances from August 8, 2021 to December 18, 2022.

Irvine, who was at the event as a member of FIFPRO's Global Player Council, was captured on video posing for a photograph with Casemiro.
