Antony, Fred and Casemiro have all been called up for Brazil as the first planned Premier League break of the season gets closer.
All three players started together for the first time in the Manchester United vs Real Sociedad loss at Old Trafford, with many calling the loss controversial due to a rather strange VAR decision to award the Spanish club with a penalty.
Antony has started life as Red Devil well, scoring on his debut against Arsenal.

It was a lovely finish from the right hand side past Ramsdale, and the Brazilian is becoming a quick fan favourite though the fun and flare he brings to the side, beyond the tactical flexibility he brings through being a left-footed right-winger.

He became the first Brazilian to score on his debut for the club.
Casemiro is also a Brazilian who has made his Red Devil debut recently, coming on as a substitute against Southampton and then also as again against Leicester.
Many thought he would finally make his first start against Arsenal, however he was yet again on the bench as Scott McTominay put in a thorough performance in midfield. He made his first start at Old Trafford on Thursday evening, against Real Sociedad.

Fred has been a regular in the Manchester United team for years, and thrived last season in comparison to some of his team mates in what was a pretty shambolic 2021/22 campaign.
He has become a mainstay in the Brazil squad alongside his new team mate Casemiro, with the pair of them only losing one and drawing one of 20 the fixtures they have started alongside each other for the Brazilian national team.

The last man to be called up is Manchester United's forgotten left-back, Alex Telles.

After the signing of Tyrell Malacia during the summer, Telles had fallen to third choice in the position, and so it was decided that he would spend the season on loan at Spanish side, Sevilla.
Telles has played four times for Sevilla so far this season and registered one assist, and after being looked over for the Brazilian team on several occasions throughout his time at Manchester United, he has earned his place back.
Brazil are set to to take on Ghana and Tunisia in two friendlies this month, both played in France, therefore reducing the miles travelled for all Europe-based players.
Let's hope they are able to get through the international break unharmed!
