Fred and Antony performed brilliantly in Brazil’s 1-0 loss to Cameroon at the FIFA World Cup.
The Manchester United stars were in top form and put on an incredible display despite the defeat.
Fred did not have his regular partner Casemiro, who was said to be resting for the round of 16.
He continued his excellent form with another commanding performance in midfield.

His tackles, passes and breaks of the play were impeccable throughout the game.
Fred looks like a different player when he plays for Brazil. United fans will be hoping to see more of the same when he returns to Old Trafford.
Antony, on the other hand, oozed class.
His skill and tricks down the right wing caused many problems for the Cameroonian defence.
United missed him for the last few games as they looked toothless on the wing.
The 22-year-old’s explosiveness offers something unique to United’s attack, and his post-World Cup return will be highly anticipated.
Erik ten Hag hopes to correct certain deficiencies in Antony’s game related to decision making and chance creation.
Brazil now faces South Korea in the round of 16.
Casemiro is expected to regain his place in the starting eleven alongside Fred.
