Manchester United four players in Brazil’s 26-man squad for this winter’s World Cup but only one, Casemiro, was named in the starting line-up for their opening game against Serbia.
The 30-year-old has immediately become a fan-favourite at Old Trafford and he’s now looking to help his nation end a 20-year wait for world domination.
Brazil are one of the heavy favourites to win the tournament and they were sharp in the opening exchanges vs Serbia, with Casemiro standing out with one spectacular line-breaking pass, as seen below.

The former Real Madrid star eliminated most of the Serbian team with just one pass and better control by Neymar could have meant an opening-day assist for Casemiro.
Brazil scored twice in the second half to secure all three points, with the South American giants ending the game with three United players on the pitch – Casemiro, Fred and Antony.
