Fred and Casemiro played alongside each other in Brazil's 5-1 rout of Tunisia on Tuesday night, potentially showing Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag what they could offer upon the return of the Premier League. Loanee Alex Telles also started as Brazil flexed their muscles ahead of the World Cup.
Casemiro was defensively secure but also showed his ability to impact the game going forward. He assisted Raphinha for Brazil's opener and then won a penalty which Neymar converted.
Fred has struggled for game time so far this season but he reminded Ten Hag what he can offer. The Brazil midfielder provided energy and moved the ball well. It is unlikely he'll replace Christian Eriksen any time soon, but with a packed calendar in October, rotation will be key.
