Manchester United could receive a significant boost after Brazil’s World Cup elimination against Croatia.
The Seleçao seemed favorites to win the competition, but lost to a formidable Croatian side on penalties.
Despite taking the lead in extra time, Brazil conceded immediately afterwards, with Bruno Petkovic’s deflected shot leading to penalties.
It will be difficult for players like Casemiro and Antony to accept, who were fantastic throughout the tournament.
The latter showed flashes of brilliance in today’s game against Croatia.
For United fans, that’s good news, as three of their star players Antony, Casemiro and Fred will return early.
They could be available for the match against Burnley on December 22.
Manager Erik ten Hag spoke about how he hopes his players will return immediately after the World Cup.
“We had a plan; we have prepared the players with the plan so there is no confusion about what the program is.”
“We make the players aware that after you are out of the World Cup, you have to come back to the club and the league continues immediately. ”
“You have to be prepared for that, but I think our players are used to it.”
“Our players are winners, and now they are fighting for the World Cup, and right now, they are out, hopefully one is the winner, they have to deal with it. ”
“With the success they have, or the losses, they have to deal with it and of course they have to be ready for another challenge.”
