On July 8th, Brazil was eliminated from the Copa America by Uruguay after a penalty shootout. Notably, shortly after the match, Manchester United used a photo of Casemiro to promote their new season kit, accompanied by two Brazilian flag emojis. The British media outlet, The Mirror, pointed out that Manchester United’s move was a sarcastic and defensive response to Casemiro’s omission from the Brazilian national team’s current roster.
Casemiro has represented the Brazilian national team in 75 matches, scoring 7 goals and providing 3 assists. However, he was excluded from the national team this summer by Brazilian coach Dorival. Manchester United fans believe that the club is attempting to take action against this controversial decision.
Dorival previously stated: “Casemiro deserves recognition from all of us, but this doesn’t mean he is excluded (from returning to the Brazilian team).”
