Peter Crouch has insisted that he would rather have Casemiro on his team instead of Rodri.
Both players have been vital to their respective sides this season, slotting into defensive midfield regularly.
Rodri's Manchester City are still competing on three fronts, whilst Casemiro's Manchester United are challenging for the Europa League and the FA Cup having already secured the Carabao Cup.
The topics sparked debate on BT Sport's coverage of City's game against Liverpool on Saturday, with Joleon Lescott and Rio Ferdinand backing the man that plays for their respective former sides.
