Brazil eased past Chile with a 3-0 win at the Maracana in World Cup qualifying, but the match was not without controversy. Manchester United star Casemiro was at the centre of attention after appearing to intentionally stamp on Felipe Loyola late in the first half. Despite the ugly challenge, the veteran midfielder escaped with just a yellow card and avoided dismissal.
Casemiro has insisted that he is "very happy" at Manchester United, shutting down speculation over his future. The Brazilian midfield general, often painted as a fading star on the wrong side of 30, came out swinging after United’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, insisting he remains fully committed to the club.
