Manchester United quartet called up for Brazil World Cup squad as Antony and Casemiro included

Manchester United players Antony, Fred, Casemiro and Alex Telles have all been called up for Brazil's 26-man World Cup squad.

The quartet were chosen by national team coach Tite, as he named his squad on Monday night. The competition was incredibly fierce for places, with many high-profile names in the Premier League missing out.

Playing for your country at a World Cup is one of the highest accolades a footballer can achieve, and Antony has ticked it off his bucket list at the age of just 22-years-old. The former Ajax man has hit the ground running at Old Trafford, with goals against Arsenal, Manchester City and Everton all helping him make the shortlist of players travelling to Qatar.
