Casemiro, Antony and Fred were the latest Manchester United contingent to make it through to the last eight of the World Cup and Qatar.
Casemiro put in another assured display and played the full 90 minutes as Brazil put on a scintillating display to beat South Korea 4-1 at Stadium 794.
Casemiro dominated the middle of the park as his passing was sharp, in which he recorded a passing accuracy of 84% and made 6 recoveries, as well as winning 75% of his ground duels. Casemiro was awarded a rating of 7.4 from fotmob.com.

Brazil scored their first goal in the 7th minute of the game through Vinicius Jr, who had a lot of space to give Brazil the lead, which he did. That got the ball rolling for Brazil because Neymar, returning from injury scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-0.
Brazil’s Richarlison arguably scored the goal of the tournament after a superb team move that involved some crisp passing, allowing the Tottenham striker to slot home, which put Brazil 3-0 up.
This Brazil goal was absolutely beautiful 🥰#BBCWorldCup #BBCFootball https://t.co/NgSvOTdyf4

West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta added the finishing touches to what was a magnificent first half display as he volleyed home a Vinicius Jr cross before South Korea got a consolation goal as Brazil took their foot off the gas.
Even though Casemiro played the full game, the two other United players, Fred and Antony did not feature at all as Brazil cruised past South Korea but they will be hoping to play in the quarter finals.
Next up for Brazil is a quarter final showdown against Croatia, who knocked out Japan on penalties and this game will be played on Friday at 3pm UK time at the Education City Stadium.
