Former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane has hit out at Brazil's samba celebrations, as the Selecao cruised into the last eight of the World Cup.
Seeing off South Korea by a scoreline of 4-1 at Stadium 974, goals from Vinicius Junior, Neymar, Richarlison and Lucas Paqueta ensured the five-time World champions will now face Croatia in the quarter-finals. United midfielder Casemiro played the full 90 minutes, whilst Fred and Antony both watched on as unused substitutes.
Turning on the style throughout the opening 45 minutes, Brazil's players could be seen carrying out carefully crafted dancing routines after each goal, with United legend Keane not best pleased with the manner of the celebration.

''I don’t like this, he’s made a point about culture I get that but I think it’s disrespecting the opposition,'' began the 51-year-old during the half-time interval.
''It’s four and they’re doing it every time. I don’t mind the first kind of little jig - whatever they’re doing - but they’re still doing it after that, and then the manager getting involved with it. I’m not happy with it, I don’t think it’s very good at all.''
Brazil took their foot off the gas following their first-half antics, with South Korea grabbing a mere consolation goal, as Paik Seung-ho's deflected thunderbolt flew past Alisson and into the top corner. With Tite's side now set to face Croatia in the next round at the quarter-final stage, Brazil are eying a potential sixth World Cup success in the Middle East.
