Neymar dedicates Brazil World Cup goal in last 16 tie vs South Korea to injured Manchester United star

Neymar has dedicated his goal in Brazil's hammering of South Korea to injured Manchester United player Alex Telles.

Brazil are sailing into the quarter-finals of the World Cup with an emphatic and joyous display in the last 16 against South Korea, with the returning Neymar making a massive impact. The forward picked up a nasty knock to the ankle in his country's opening match and missed the rest of the group stage as he recovered.

He hasn't been the only Brazilian to suffer an injury but he has at least been fortunate that it hasn't ended his tournament. Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus and United left-back Telles have not been so lucky. Telles, who is spending the season on loan at Sevilla, was struck with a knee injury during the final group match against Cameroon that has ruled him out for the remainder of the competition.
