Casemiro

Casemiro will leave Old Trafford this summer, with a deal to Inter Miami reportedly in the works.

He has just come off an outstanding season for United, and he impressed once again in Brazil’s 6-2 win over Panama. Casemiro headed in Vinicius Junior’s shot to give the Brazilians the lead.

In 45 minutes of action, he created one goal with an assist and played one key pass.

He completed 86% of his passes and 100% of his dribble attempts.

Casemiro also won both his tackle and aerial duels, and the midfielder came out on top in three ground duels during the match.

Matheus Cunha

Cunha had a much more challenging 45 minutes for the Brazilians.

He has been in great form this season for United, especially during the final four months of the campaign.

Unfortunately, he scored an own goal. He jumped in the wall to defend a Panama free kick, but the ball unluckily deflected into the net past Alisson Becker.

Cunha did not have any shots on goal and also failed in all three of his dribble attempts.

He made one key pass and completed 82% of his passes during his 45 minutes on the pitch.

Cunha made one interception defensively but could only come out on top in one of his five ground duels.

The Brazilians will next be in action in a friendly match against Egypt on Saturday night.
