Delight for Manchester United trio as Brazil dance past South Korea into World Cup quarter-finals

Casemiro, Fred and Antony's Brazil have danced their way into the World Cup quarter-finals in scintillating Samba style with a 4-1 win over South Korea.

Of the Manchester United trio, only Casemiro played any minutes as he completed the full 90 while Fred and Antony sat on the bench. They can have little complaints, however, as those players who started the game put in an incredible opening 45 minutes of vintage Brazil brilliance.

The game was only seven minutes old when the tone was set and Vinicius Junior cooly dispatched a curling effort past the goalkeeper. A few moments later and the lead was doubled when Neymar nonchalantly rolled in a penalty on his return to the side after injury. He would go over to injured United left-back Alex Telles in his celebration, with the Sevilla loanee being ruled out of the tournament due to a knee problem.
