Brazil great hails Casemiro after Manchester United ace makes Liverpool FC's Fabinho a 'reserve' player

Casemiro has been hailed by former Brazil midfielder Zinho as the country's "best player", as he stated that Liverpool's Fabinho is a "reserve" in the 26-man squad due to the Manchester United star's talent.

Casemiro will once again line up for Brazil when they take on Croatia in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Friday. The United midfielder has been instrumental in his country's success in Qatar, as he translates his fine club form to the biggest tournament in the world.

The former Real Madrid man has been one of Erik ten Hag's best players this season at Old Trafford, as he has quickly justified the large transfer fee the club paid for his services. The Dutchman will be delighted that Casemiro is continuing his rich vein of form for Brazil, with his performances making many people around the world sit up and take notice of just how good the 30-year-old is.
