Manchester United supporters have lauded midfielder Casemiro after he scored the winning goal for Brazil in their World Cup clash against Switzerland.
Brazil's victory over their opponents on Monday night secured their place in the knockout stages of the tournament in Qatar, with Tite's men having now won both of their opening two Group G matches. The South American outfit need a point in their last group match to secure top spot.
Tite's side struggled to break down a stubborn Switzerland side, and it appeared as though the game was heading for a goalless draw until United star Casemiro bagged a stunning winner.

The 30-year-old combined well with Real Madrid duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo for the goal, with the Reds man smashing a half volley past Yann Sommer in the 83rd minute. His strike took a slight deflection off Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji, but his effort was goal-bound from the minute it left his boot.
United fans were quick to praise the midfielder for his stunning strike as he once again delivered an impressive performance in the centre of the park.
Fred started alongside Casemiro in midfield against Switzerland, but was substituted in the 58th minute after struggling to impact the clash. His club teammate Antony, who replaced Neymar in the first group stage match against Serbia, once again came off the bench late on in the game. The 22-year-old was sent on for the final 17 minutes of the match on Monday.
