Man Utd's 'invisible' star tipped to ruin England's hopes of winning World Cup

Brazil will benefit from Casemiro's "invisible" role as the Manchester United star is tipped to perform a key job at the World Cup - which could cause England problems in a potential clash.

The midfielder, who moved from Real Madrid to Old Trafford in the summer, has enjoyed a trophy-laden club career. His performances in the middle of the park for Los Blancos have helped them dominate Europe and the 30-year-old now wants to translate that form to the World Cup.

Twenty years ago it was Gilberto Silva sitting as the midfield anchor in a star-studded line-up.
