Casemiro scored an equalising goal in Brazil's dramatic 2-1 win over Japan.
What happened?
The Brazilian midfielder made the difference with his goal in the second half.
He completed 89% of his passes and 70% of his long ball attempts.
Performance
Casemiro had two shots on goal and missed another big chance to score in the game.
He won two aerial duels and two ground battles in the middle of the park.
## Right call
Manchester United will certainly miss his aerial presence in both defence and attack.
But they will benefit immensely from having more legs in the middle of the park next season.
The Red Devils will hope the addition of Ederson and other midfield recruits allows them to play a more modern style of football.
This style will protect the backline and allow for greater fluidity in attack.
Therefore, it was the right decision for everyone for Casemiro to continue his career in MLS with Inter Miami next season.
Casemiro was given the player of the match award after his outstanding showing for his side.
The former United man's weaknesses were on full display, however, for Japan's opener.
Kaishu Sano easily breezed past Casemiro in the middle of the pitch and carried the ball forward with ease to score Japan's opening strike.
The ease with which Brazil's midfield was cut open highlights exactly why United decided it was time to move on from the Brazilian at the end of his contract.
And so, Casemiro's time at Manchester United has come to an end.
But his legacy will live on, and his contributions to the team will not be forgotten.
He scored an impressive nine Premier League goals from defensive midfield last season.
So, it will be interesting to see how he performs in the MLS with Inter Miami next season.
Only time will tell if this was the right decision for both Casemiro and Manchester United.
But for now, it seems like a new chapter is beginning for both parties.
The World Cup has been an exciting tournament so far, with many surprises and upsets.
And Casemiro's performance has been one of the highlights of the tournament.
He has shown why he is considered one of the best midfielders in the world.
His skills and abilities on the pitch are undeniable.
And he will be missed by Manchester United and their fans.
But the team must move on and focus on the future.
They have a lot of talented players, and they will be looking to make a strong comeback next season.
The addition of Ederson and other midfield recruits will be a big boost to the team.
And they will be looking to play a more modern style of football that will allow them to compete with the best teams in the league.
So, it will be exciting to see how Manchester United performs next season.
And how Casemiro performs in the MLS with Inter Miami.
Only time will tell, but for now, it seems like a new chapter is beginning for both parties.
